Introducing the Traveler: A Dopp Kit that Does More Than Just Hold Your Toiletries
Did you know that every year, a staggering 92 million tons of clothing end up in landfills? If the current trajectory continues and no measures are taken t o address fast fashion waste, the apparel industry's global emissions are expected to increase by 50% by 2030, potentially doubling by the end of the decade. This massive textile waste has a devastating impact on the environment, contributing to overflowing landfills, pollution, and the unnecessary use of resources. At BirdieBlue, we're on a mission to change that narrative—turning what would be "garbage" into treasures that serve a greater purpose. We are so excited to introduce The Traveler, the newest item to join the BirdieBlue collection made from 100% upcycled and recycled materials.
Sustainability Starts with Repurposing
At BirdieBlue, we're passionate about keeping textile waste out of landfills and reducing global emissions. How do we do it? By upcycling and recycling fabrics from outdoor gear like ski and snowboard jackets! From scouring thrift stores to partnering with outdoor brands, we source materials that are ready for a second life. The making of The Traveler started with countless pieces of well-loved gear— ski jackets and rain pants—that got a fresh start with us. The gear was sorted and thrown in the washer for a good clean. We then deconstruct the old outdoor gear. The external fabrics are cut into pattern pieces and sewn into a brand new Birdie Bag. We then make sure every piece of the old gear sees NEW life by donating zippers to gear repair partners and turning the clothing lining into housing insulation. If you have any old gear laying around your house that could use a second life you can request a BirdieBlue donation pack HERE, helping us reduce waste and create new products such as The Traveler. We are committed to accepting any type of outerwear, no matter how many snow storms or rogue bushes your winter jacket has seen.
