Unique sustainable fashion bags and totes made in America

FAQ

WHAT IS SALVAGED MATERIAL?
Our speciality! This is material that has been discarded or unused, but has great potential. We look for industrial salvage – material discarded on a large scale that is not recyclable.
IS MY BAG WATERPROOF?
Our Airbag Backpack is waterproof! Yay for running around in the rain! Our filter cloth collection is porous, and water will easily wipe off the bag.
CAN I PUT MY BAG IN THE WASH?
Yes, you can wash your bag in the washing machine with warm water and mild soap. You can also rinse with the hose or in the shower. Hang or lay flat to dry. You should not put your bag in the dryer.
IS EVERY BAG UNIQUE?
Yes, every Airbag Backpack is made from fabric with original airbag markings. Although similar, each bag is slightly different. Our filter cloth collection uses beer-dyed sheets that are incredibly unique. Depending on the type of beer, the patina varies from dark to light, and every bag is unique.
I'VE NOTICED COLOR TRANSFER FROM MY OVERDYED BAG. WHAT TO DO?
This is totally normal so don’t worry! Just like a new pair of dark denim jeans, you should wash your bag in the wash machine – using hot water and mild soap – to get rid of the excess dye. Hang or lay flat to dry. Take care when wearing with light colored clothing.
CAN MY BAG BE RECYCLED?
If you’re done with it, send the bag back to us and we will re-use the parts (if possible) or recycle it. Re-use is preferable to recycling.
ARE YOUR BAGS VEGAN?
Yes, our bags are 100% vegan. We do not use any glue or animal byproducts. Rewilder is PETA approved vegan and cruelty-free.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REPURPOSED AND RECYCLED?
Repurposing is when existing material is re-used to make something new and useful. Recycling processes material to a former state in order to start over. Re-use is better for the planet because (1) recycling takes loads of energy, and (2) you cannot recycle the same plastics more than a few times. Rewilder creates the best bags on & for the planet from 100% salvaged materials.
WHERE ARE REWILDER BAGS MADE?
Everything is washed, cut, and sewn in California for bags with a micro-footprint and highest quality.
WHY IS AIRBAG MATERIAL PERFECT FOR BACKPACKS?
An airbag is a protective shell, built to be indestructible. Airbag material is thick, strong, lightweight, durable, waterproof, and suuuuuper stylish—you’d never know it (unless…well, you know). It has its own modern performance aesthetic and a unique textured graphic line pattern from its first life. The auto industry throws away tons (literally) of this material each year, and it cannot be recycled. Realizing airbags are treasure not trash, Rewilder repurposes this beautiful material into the best eco active backpack on the market.
