What are the TOTE. MODERN. tote bags made from?
The range is designed and printed in Melbourne, and the bags are manufactured using an ethically sourced recycled cotton and polyester blend. This blend offers an effective way to reduce waste as it is made of a combination of post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer cotton off cuts. Prior to spinning, the cotton is sorted into colours avoiding the need to dye the fabric once constructed which further reduces the impact on the environment. This unique material blend creates a strong, durable fabric as opposed to using a conventional cotton and virgin polyester blend, making it the more environmentally friendly alternative to single use plastic bags.

Where are the TOTE. MODERN. tote bags made?
The TOTE. MODERN. range is designed and printed in Melbourne.
The TOTE. MODERN. bags are currently made in China via a certified manufacturer committed to the following standards and practices: 10 principles of Fair Work conditions outlined by WFTO, Global Recycled Standard, GOTS, ISO9001, OEKO-TEX and REPREVE.

Why are the TOTE. MODERN tote bags not made locally in Australia?
