Thought: Cotopaxi is one of my favorite brands. I wish this blog was sponsored so I could get some free stuff but I’m just giving them some love cause their stuff is awesome. Their slogan is “gear for good” promoting sustainability for humans and the planet. The Del Did Collection is an example, which is made from the scrap material of other products.
Each piece is unique because it’s all leftover material saved from the trash. The sewer picks the pieces and creates the bag. If you check the website you can pick a base color but then there’s an array of difference from the zipper pulls to the fabric on the straps.
The bags are a good analogy for me these days. There is a mix of pieces from various parts of life being sewn together into a creation. Some parts where probably meant as trash that have found use again. Some don’t seem to match but, in context, are necessary to complete the whole. The purpose doesn’t change (just like the bag) – serve people, leave the world better than I found it, and be bold. A Cotopaxi bag stands out with its vibrant colors and patchwork design. My patchwork is a feature not a defect. You never know when that leftover part will complete the whole.
