"I graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan in 2002 and until 2015, Architecture and interior design were my profession. I followed the construction of prestigious seaside villas, city homes from large lofts and very organized studio apartments. Space management has always been an exciting challenge for me. Today, when I design an object made with recycled sails, I put its functionality in the foreground, enhancing it with a new and sustainable aesthetic." |
What are the advantages of choosing a recycled sail bag?
Lightness and resistance
The sail fabric is designed to be light and resistant. Made to face the extreme conditions of the sea, the sails must have both these characteristics.
If you think about it, these are also the ideal qualities of a bag for everyday use and you can find both in a recycled sail bag.
The lightness of the material used for its construction makes this type of bag easy to carry to meet the needs of those looking for practicality, without sacrificing style.
Thanks to their sturdiness , recycled sail bags are the ideal choice for those who have an active lifestyle, love to travel or are simply looking for an accessory that can accompany them everywhere.
Uniqueness of Rivelami bags
These bags are perfect for sea lovers and for those who want to stand out with an accessory with an exclusive style and timeless charm.
Each recycled sail bag is, in fact, unique and tells a different story.
This is because each sail has distinctive signs and characteristics, such as shades, textures and particular stitching. Each piece is, therefore, characterized by unrepeatable details.
In short, choosing a recycled sail bag means opting for an accessory with an exclusive, practical and versatile style.
A sustainable choice
Buying a recycled sail bag means making an ecological and sustainable choice , helping to give new life to materials that had been discarded.
These products are, in fact, made by processing old sails, transforming what would have become waste into something new. Used sails thus become a precious resource.
This is important as the process of recycling and reusing sails contributes significantly to the reduction of textile waste, decreasing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
It should also be taken into account that, as we have seen, sails are designed to last over time. This quality makes recycled sail bags resistant and long-lasting, ideal for those looking for an accessory that lasts over the years, without losing its charm.
Choosing a recycled sail bag therefore means making a gesture that goes beyond style and embraces a more responsible vision of consumption.
What to Look for in a Recycled Sail Bag
When you decide to buy a recycled sail bag, it is essential that you make sure you choose a quality product that truly respects the environment.
Only in this way will you be sure to have in your hands a resistant item that will accompany you over time.
Trusting brands that demonstrate a concrete commitment to our planet represents an important first step towards a conscious purchase .
It is essential that the sails have been recovered and processed ethically , with a sustainable production process. Each reused sail will thus contribute to reducing waste, keeping the originality and history of the material intact.
At Rivelami, for example, we have activated a campaign to recover used sails.
Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of the textile sector by promoting reuse and recycling.
It's a simple way to give new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, demonstrating that what was considered waste can become a useful and creative resource.
