Offsetting

BearReMade

Our bags are made to last a lifetime, but we get that not everyone wants to keep something that long.

To avoid your bag ending up in the back of the closet, or worse, the bin, we will take your bag back in exchange for BearMade credit (10% of the bags original value).

We will then recycle the parts from that bag and make it into something new.

Our purpose

We exist to connect people with nature. With every bag purchased, we commit to connecting one person with the outdoors. We are starting this mission with our local town, through out Wildish Club. Find out more here.

Care & Guarantee

Made in Britain

BearMade is an exploration into a different way of doing business.

Local. Impactful. Transparent.

Notes from the designer.

I love tote bags. They are just so useful. Annoyingly most of them aren't that great. They don't last particularly long and are uncomfortable to carry when there is a bit of weight in them. So I thought I would try and make something better.

Material highlights.

Our bags are made from GOTS certified organic dry-waxed cotton canvas from British Millerain in Lancashire. They have been dyeing and proofing cotton for over 100 years and this material is one of their latest creations. It has a totally dry finish (dry-waxed doesn't always mean totally), is waterproof, PFC free, and is machine washable! However, we don't recommend you wash it often.

Our cotton webbing is made by Bowmer Bond in Sheffield. They have been making webbing for over 200 years. They do it very well.

Made by Amy.

We insist on working with great people who share our values, and our lead bag maker Amy is one of a kind.

With 20+ years of experience, she makes all our bags, with the help of a small team, from her studio in the Suffolk countryside.

Another excellent Bearmade bag

Sturdy, extremely well made and designed The different carrying options - short handles, long handlles/over shoulder and as a back pack are particularly well conceived and useful. Highly recommended!

TOTEs amazeballs

Brilliant tote bag. Particularly clever design enabling backpack-style carrying if you’ve accidentally done too much shopping. Extremely well made - will probably outlast me and I’m a youthful 39. Fashionable too, so I can get away with pretending I’m a youthful 29. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for and more!
