In case you don’t already know about the brand (and you really should), Kelly Slater’s Outerknown company is basically challenging the entire way that high-quality clothes and accessories are made. By committing to ethical and sustainable decisions from the field to the factory to the places where their clothing is sold, they’re setting a new standard for environmentally responsible production practices.
In the case of their Outerknown x Live Project series, the design gurus at Outerknown are pairing up with a family-owned and -operated workshop in Japan to create durable travel essentials from mostly recycled materials. Their Wide Tote is all about the details: A water repellent coating, multiple carefully placed pockets, and a removable carrying pad. It’s fashion, function, and responsibility, all in one bag.
