Environmentally responsible, with a focus on quality & functionality. 100% unique through upcycling, generating new value to waste material. #sealandgear

Description

The sea and land create the natural environments we cherish. They stand alone, but come together. They have been around since the beginning and shape our habitats.

We are the makers or breakers of this world - there has never been a more important time to make environmentally responsible decisions.

Sealand stands for environmentally responsible production, where our products are created through an upcycling process, as well as sustainably sourced materials such as hemp and organic cotton. We believe in functionality and quality that stands the test of time. All of our upcycled products are guaranteed to be 100% unique, and have a lifetime warrantee. In return, this will reduce the amount of waste landing up in landfills. We are proud to hold our roots in Cape Town, South Africa.

"Making bags, accessories and clothing that can last, that are built for life and are environmentally smart...not an easy goal.Various challenges present themselves in the journey from identification of used or waste material that has served its purpose, and is by all accounts ‘spent’, into new combinations of textures that offer multiple functionalities and added longevity; so preventing their ubiquitous accumulation in landfills and tips.Our material sampling, selection and design process allows us to re-use waste material in a new composition, a new contextualization.By taking great care in finding visually pleasing upcycled elements and textures and combining these through inspired design, we create new meaning."
