Reclaimed Lifejacket Bag Collection

Built from flotation gear. Designed for everyday use.

A collection of bags made from reclaimed lifejackets — reworked into functional, durable pieces built for daily carry and travel.

Originally designed for safety and survival, the materials are lightweight, tough, and highly visible. Reclaimed and repurposed, they take on a second life as practical, hard-wearing bags with a distinctive look.

No two pieces are the same.

The Collection

Each item is made from salvaged lifejackets and built with function in mind:

• Tote / Utility Bag – lightweight, durable, ideal for everyday use
• Crossbody Bag – compact and practical for essentials
• Toiletry / Wash Bag – simple, functional storage for travel
• Neck Pouch – minimal carry for small valuables

Each piece can stand alone or work together as a set.

Materials & Construction

Lifejacket fabric is designed to perform in demanding conditions — resistant, lightweight, and built to last.

Every piece is cut, reworked and reinforced by hand. Where needed, additional structure and stitching are added to ensure durability without losing the character of the original material.

Fit for Purpose

These are practical, everyday bags:

• Light to carry
• Strong enough for regular use
• Easy to pack and travel with

They’re designed for movement — whether that’s daily errands, trips away, or keeping essentials close.

Character

Expect variation in colour, markings, and layout.

Each item carries signs of its previous life — scuffs, fading, and unique panel combinations. That’s part of what makes every piece individual.

Custom Work

If you’re after a specific combination — size, strap, or style — get in touch. I can adapt pieces within the limits of available materials.

Built to be used

Functional, lightweight, and made with purpose — these are pieces designed to be carried, not kept aside.

Made from a life jacket at the end of its life, the jacket came from a Boeing 747, the bags have utilized nearly all the components of the life jacket, the only additional materials are the straps on the bag, clasps and the lining. Unique quirky and one off, you are buying 4 bags, one for any occasion, it’s set and no one will have another. Additional stitching and embellishment use around the bags. The only item missing is the CO2 canister, i removed for HSE reasons, even the light works, just drop into water, and bosh it lights up for about 30 minutes, any questions please ask. I am asking £165 for the set, happy to split big bad £125, small cross bag £55, toiletries bag £35 and neck purse £25, just message and i can adjust the purchase.
