Waste Is Our Resource
We don’t order materials from suppliers. Instead, we seek out resources that would otherwise become waste and find ways to partner with others to give useful materials a second life. The following are primary resources we currently work with.
Banner Offcuts
Leftover polyester from a banner manufacturer. It’s heavy-duty and vibrant . It’s the primary resource used in our Market Bags, Yoga Mat Bags, Large Totes, & more.
Thai Silk Remnants
Offcuts from a Thai bag manufacturer. We use silk that’s more delicate for our manufactured Thai Silk Pouches, & a sturdier silk for our handmade pieces.
Neoprene Offcuts
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.
More on the way…
We’re currrently testing and prototyping with several new materials, including fire hoses, burlap sacks, vinyl signage, and other interesting possibilities.
Made by Skilled Hands
Every Morph Bags product is made by people who care about what they’re creating. Our handmade & manufactured lines are each produced by a distinct community of makers — connected by shared values around quality, sustainability, & opportunity. 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 United States
Some of our handmade products are sewn by refugee seamstresses in the United States, trained & supported by our partner Forai in St. Louis. Forai works with refugees to build economic independence through skilled craftsmanship, & every handmade product they produce is a step toward that goal.
Manufactured to High Standards
Our manufactured products are made by a values-aligned family business in Thailand. They treat their workers well, maintain rigorous quality standards, and are committed to the same circular economy principles that underpin everything we do at Morph Bags.
