Awesome Mother Nature

Terje Sorgjerd is a landscape photographer and filmmaker from Norway. This film captures his adventures between April 4 to 11, photographing from the top of Spain’s highest mountain.

Sometimes, it takes a time-lapse like this to remind us that there is so much of Mother Nature we haven’t seen yet. Scroll through 00:32 to see what the Milky Way looks like through a Sahara sandstorm.

Doesn’t that just take your breath away?

In celebration of Earth Day, we launched our newest line of upcycled leather goods. But our eco-friendly line doesn’t end there. Here are some other green goodies around the Poketo world:


The Big Sur Eco-Pullover is made with organic cotton, recycled polyester, and naturally occurring rayon. Named after Kerouac’s work of the same name, the illustration’s dreamy aura leave one a lot of room to dream and wonder.


Hand-painted on salvaged wood, this necklace is as modern take on merit badges. Doesn’t this make you feel more prepared for what lies ahead already?


There’s just something so graceful about these balancing blocks made from re-purposed hardwood scrap. Rescued from local furniture shops, each set contains ten different-sized colored blocks. Create your own mini-cities with these. We have!


Change the world one idea at a time with these notebooks made of 100 percent recycled paper and printed with soy-based inks.

Did we miss anything you think should be on the list? Let us know! In the meantime, go out and enjoy the sunshine!

Poketo Goes Eco! New line of 100% Recycled Eco Bags!

We are pleased to announce our newest collaborative bag line with South Korean non-profit design brand, Eco Party Mearry! Just in time for Earth Day on April 22nd, our line of 100% recycled bags are made of old street banners, leather couches and jackets, and donated clothing. No two bags are alike! They’re super fresh, durable, design-forward, and best of all–good for the Earth! A percentage of the proceeds will go towards environmental efforts and create more jobs abroad.

The series includes three styles:

The Recycled Street Banner Bag

The Bubble Bag

The Recycled Suit Tote

A lot of love and hard work is put into every bag, and we wanted to show you first hand how these bags are made in Korea.

STEP 1: Gather the material. Street banners are found everywhere in Seoul, from buildings to streets. Instead of trashing the nylon material, volunteers gather the street banners from all over Seoul.

STEP 2: After gathering the discarded materials, they organize them and clean them.

STEP 3: The street banners are taken to the workshop to be cut and sewn into bags by designers.
