CALABRE: the recycled-fiber tote for the city and everyday trips

A shopping bag is easy to judge: either it lasts three months, or it sits in the trunk for years and eventually becomes part of the scenery. CALABRE belongs to the second category. Its recycled-fiber fabric is dense and sturdy, and doesn’t lose its shape when you fill it.

Generous capacity, no false promises

The roomy capacity is designed for Saturday morning at the market, a stop at the grocery store on your way home, and the change of clothes and water bottle you take to the gym. The dense fabric prevents the bag from sagging as soon as you set it down, and the handles sit comfortably on your shoulder or in your hand.

96% recycled fibers, assembled in France

The fabric combines 63% recycled cotton and 33% recycled polyester, for a total of 96% recycled fibers. No virgin fibers are extracted for a bag designed to replace dozens of disposable bags. And at just 210 g, it’s light enough to stay folded at the bottom of another bag at all times.

PERFORMANCES

96% recycled fibers: a tote bag that uses no virgin materials

Let’s be clear: most of a textile’s impact comes from extracting its raw material. CALABRE is designed to avoid that step. Its fabric is made from 63% recycled cotton and 33% recycled polyester, meaning 96% recycled fibers. The cotton comes from scraps and previously made textiles, while the polyester comes from collected plastic bottles. In practical terms, no irrigated cotton fields or barrels of oil were used to make most of this bag. That makes even more sense for a tote bag: its purpose is to replace single-use bags, trip after trip. And because the yarn is spun in Spain and then woven in France, in Charlieu, the material never crosses an ocean before reaching your kitchen.

210 g and dense canvas: lightweight to carry, sturdy when loaded

A tote bag you don’t have with you is no use. CALABRE weighs 210 g, about as much as a small paperback: folded up, it fits in a backpack or bike bag, and you eventually forget it’s there—until you need it. That lightness doesn’t come at the expense of durability. The canvas is dense and tightly woven, which makes all the difference in use: the bag keeps its shape when loaded, doesn’t stretch under the weight of bottles, and doesn’t get scuffed at the corners by a box. A thin, floppy bag, on the other hand, deforms within a few weeks. Here, the fabric works with the load rather than giving way to it.

Fit & support

CALABRE: a large unisex tote bag, carried by hand or over the shoulder

CALABRE is a unisex style, available in one size. There’s no need to worry about body shape here: it’s all about the volume, and it’s generous, designed to hold a big weekly grocery shop, a stack of clothes, or everything you need for a day in the city.

The thick canvas gives it structure: the bag stays open while you fill it and doesn’t collapse in on itself when you set it down. The handles let you carry it by hand when it’s loaded, or sling it over your shoulder over a jacket or coat without the canvas slipping. At 210 g, it folds up and fits inside another bag, ready to use whenever you need it.
