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 Offcuts

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…

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.

Second Chance Bangkok is a social enterprise creating Second Chances for the people of Klong Toey community; Bangkok's largest slum.

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.

Each year, Forai supports 8–12 refugee and immigrant women on its artisan team and 20–30 more through community sewing classes. It fosters dignity, amplifies their stories, provides income opportunities, and builds a community of mutual support across cultures.

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, & are committed to the same circular economy principles that underpin everything we do at Morph Bags.
