OUR VISION

We believe we already have everything we need for a good life. We’re lucky to live in a world of abundance but our environment pays the price. Safeguarding the future is up to us and we all carry the responsibility for protecting our environment and using our resources wisely. That is why we founded Reused Remade, a patent pending solution that up-cycles discarded hotel bed linen and turns them into textile bags. We call this product reincarnation. Compared to a plastic or cotton bag, a Reused Remade bag results in far less greenhouse gas emissions and vastly reduces the amount of land and water needed for production, making it easier than ever to do a little good.

OUR STORY

Like most of you, we are concerned about the environment and the state of our planet. At one point, we felt the need to take action in order to contribute to a more sustainable world. We want to be able to look our children in the eye and tell them that we actually do something good for our planet, so that they can have a chance to swim in clean oceans, eat fish and enjoy nature’s wonders.

When listening to the outcome of the UN Paris Climate Change Conference in 2015, and understanding the damage and impact that plastic bags have on our environment, especially our oceans, the thought of a more sustainable bag started to grow. In 2016 we searched and found an alternative material, a neglected high-quality textile, discarded hotel bed linen.

“We want to show future generations that a simple business idea can make a difference and that it’s possible to combine design, function and sustainability.”

OUR PRODUCTION

We have chosen our partners carefully and currently produce our bags in Lithuania, Europe and Pakistan, Asia. We strive to be a sustainable company every step of the way and we only work with BSCI or Sedex certified factories with good and fair working conditions. We use water-based ink and do not dye the bags in order to minimize pollution. Each bag tells a unique story and are cut, printed and stitched by hand. Each bag may slightly differ in shade due to the unique original structure of the textile. Even though the textile has been washed thoroughly minor beauty spots may still occur. It has lived a life before its reincarnation as a bag and it carries a provenance, each bag unique in its own way.

HOW DOES IT WORK

We cooperate with national and international laundry service companies and hotels to collect discarded hotel bed linen and turn them into truly sustainable and durable textile bags. We take high quality textiles from bed, to bag, and beyond. Learn more about this in our video:
