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.
