Upcycled life preservers

Sometimes the most unexpected materials make the best bags. This collaboration started with a batch of retired Air Canada life preservers we sourced through Circular Partners’ REUSE Marketplace in Toronto.

Each life preserver was tediously ironed flat and hand cut in our studio. We preserved the original graphics, expiry stamps and bright red pull cords wherever possible. Every fanny pack is now a small piece of Canadian aviation history which is pretty darn cool. 

In the end, four sizes of the Sunny Collection were made with various graphics configurations, including a super cute limited edition of kids packs. The Sunny pack was entered into the 2023 Spring One of A Kind Themed Competition and won People's Choice ❤️
