VA-VA VEGAN

-

I’ve commuted using my Sandqvist rucksack for about five years and it still looks amazing. This Charlie Vegan bag (€95.40, sandqvist.co.uk) is made from recycled nylon and recycled polyester, making it lightweigh­t and durable. The brand minimises climate impact wherever it can, including restrictin­g its use of chemicals.

WONDER WASTE

My newest eco discovery is swimwear brand Davy J. Its Waste range uses Econyl, a 100 per cent regenerate­d nylon yarn created from, you guessed it, waste including fishing nets (of which an average of 640,000 are dumped in the ocean every year). My favourite is this Classic swimsuit (€163, davyj.org), which is double-lined and created to withstand surf, cliff jumps and dives. Not only will it ensure you’ll emerge from the water the way you went in, it is pose-worthy, too.
