Upcycled Bags & Accessories Made From Waste

Morph transforms waste into useful things to encourage people to rethink resource use.

Market Bags, & Yoga Mat Bags, & totes, oh my!

Our upcycled bags are made with offcuts sourced from a banner manufacturer. We combine this durable material with double-layer construction & YKK zippers to help ensure they last a long time, while reducing demand for new resources.🌱

Yoga Mat bAGS

A sleeve for your mat, pouches for essentials, & a roomy interior make our Yoga Bags uniquely functional.

Morph Totes

They’re lightweight and comfortable, with two layers of polyester banner offcuts for serious durability.

Waste Is Our Resource

We don’t order materials from suppliers. Instead, we seek out resources that would otherwise become waste & find ways to partner with others to give useful materials a second life. The following are primary resources we currently work with.

Banner
remains

Heavy-duty polyester offcuts from a banner manufacturer. We use it in our Market Bags, Yoga Mat Bags, Totes, Essentials Pouches, Dopp Kits, & more.

Silk
offcuts

We use Thai silk offcuts from a bag . The more delicate pieces go in our manufactured Thai Silk Pouches, & a sturdier ones go in our handmade pieces.

Neoprene
waste

Neoprene offcuts from diving suit manufacturing.

The material that protects divers can now protect your sunglasses. We help them pursue zero waste by using their offcuts to make our Sunglass Cases.

Made by Skilled Hands

Every product from Morph is made by people who care about what they’re creating. Our handmade & manufactured lines are each produced by a distinct community of makers. We’re connected by shared values around quality, sustainability, & community. We are proud to partner with Second Chance Bangkok, whose work supports vulnerable communities in Thailand, & with Forai in St. Louis, MO, whose mission to empower refugees through dignified work aligns directly with ours.

Handmade in Thailand

Our handmade products are sewn by informal seamstresses in Thailand, in the same country where we source our waste materials. This keeps our handmade supply chain local to its source — reducing transport, supporting skilled workers, & keeping production close to the community.

Handmade in the US

Some of our handmade products are sewn by refugee seamstresses in the United States who are trained & supported by our partner Forai in St. Louis, Missouri. Forai works with refugees to build economic independence through skilled craftsmanship, & every handmade product they produce is a step toward that goal.
