TRAID — Textile Recycling for Aid and International Development — is a UK-based organization with a three-pronged mission: To divert clothing and shoes from landfills; to reduce world poverty by fund-raising for development projects; and to educate UK citizens on environmental and global poverty issues. TRAID has its own fashion label, TRAIDremade, that features clothing made from second-hand textiles. Recently the company designed a limited edition of recycled denim and leather bags exclusively for Timberland — using reconditioned Timberland jackets and shirts. This bag is an example. It's pretty nice, don't you think?
