Bellroy Marine Blue Recycled Collection

Bellroy’s new “Marine Blue” range of bags follows on the heels of their “Red Earth” collection in that they’re made from recycled materials, except these materials are sourced from pre-consumer industrial waste that form the basis of the company’s own “Baida” nylon.

Named for the ocean and based on the Korean word for ‘sea’ (bada 바다), this high-performance recycled nylon is naturally durable and lightweight, featuring a heat-treated yarn for an intriguing and unique crinkle-textured matte finish, along with a compact weave for added robustness in the face of both the elements and everyday wear-and-tear. As a bonus, the fabric has also been treated with an environmentally friendly water-resistant coating.
