Old Aircraft Seat Covers Turned Into Bags
Virgin Atlantic has partnered up with eco recycler Worn Again to create stylish and functional bags made from old aircraft seat covers.
The airline has already reduced the waste it produces in its offices and ground operations, and now Worn Again has produced 2,000 limited-edition bags using materials reclaimed from approximately 1,000 airplane seats during a renovation. The Worn Again Virgin line includes two handbags, a messenger bag and a toiletry case, priced ranging from GBP 25 to GBP 65. All are handmade in family-run and small-scale workshops in Portugal and come with a list of the “ingredients” and sources used.
The recycled aircraft seat cover bags are pretty groovy and can be ordered online, via Worn Again.
