Sailmate - bags with an impact

A solution by Sailmate submitted to Localise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to action!

Sailmates are bags with an impact. Upcycled sails are turned into fashion bags. The raw material comes from local sailmakers around Amsterdam, production is done in Amsterdam and integrates refugees in the making process, 10% of the profit goes to sea rescue in the Mediterranean. Sailmate is the living proof that fashion can make a positive social and environmental impact along the way.

Dear Sailor,
meet Sailmate - bags made out of used sails with a social and environmental impact.
We create beach bags on a sustainable base. We have a local and humanitarian approach, which is why production is made in Amsterdam where we integrate refugees/newcomers through our work. Besides that we donate 10% of the earnings to Sea Eye e.V. who do sea rescue in the Mediterranean. We believe that migration is one of the biggest challenges of European societies and want show and create solutions with Sailmate.
Our mission is to raise awareness of conscious consumption.
Sailmate has just been born and we are raising money for the first line of production.
Anna & the Sailmate- Crew
