Earth Day isn't just a reminder to care for the planet. It's an invitation to rethink how we live, shop, and support one another. At MADE FREE, Earth Day is a chance to share how every product we make is rooted in sustainability, transparency, and freedom.
We believe that bags, totes, and accessories can do more than carry your essentials—they can carry purpose.
In 2025, we're doubling down on our mission: to offer durable, high-quality products made from recycled and organic materials while building a fair trade supply chain that uplifts entire communities.
Here’s a closer look at the action behind our values—and how your choices help shape a more just and sustainable world.
1. Using Eco-Friendly, Recycled Materials
We believe sustainability starts with what we’re made of. Our collections use recycled plastic bottles, organic cotton, and vegetable-tanned leather—materials that reduce harm to the planet while still standing up to everyday life.
From our Urban Pack Mini to the Hip Pack AW, each item keeps waste out of landfills and oceans and gives it new purpose.

2. Fighting Fashion Waste with Durable Design
Fast fashion is one of the biggest contributors to global waste. At MADE FREE, we reject that cycle. Instead, we focus on durable craftsmanship and timeless design, backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.
Our goal is simple: help you buy fewer, better things. Every bag is made to last years, not seasons, reducing the need for replacements and keeping products out of landfills.
Explore our Leather Collection to see how style and sustainability can go hand in hand.
3. Empowering Makers Through Fair Wages
Our makers are the heart of everything we do. That’s why every MADE FREE product is crafted in small factories that meet or exceed fair trade standards.
Fair wages don’t just support individuals—they help break cycles of poverty and exploitation, especially for women and girls who are disproportionately affected by modern slavery.
Over 100,000+ days of freedom have been funded through your purchases. And we’re just getting started.

4. Building Safe, Transparent Work Environments
We partner with facilities that prioritize safety, dignity, and skill development. No child labor. No unsafe conditions. Just honest work that creates long-term opportunity.
Fair trade is more than a label—it’s a commitment to protecting people at every step of the supply chain. It’s how we ensure our products don’t come at the cost of someone else’s freedom.
5. Creating Impact That Aligns With Global Goals
Our work supports many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a global blueprint for a better, fairer, and more sustainable future.
Here’s how MADE FREE shows up in that work:
-
Goal 1 & 2: Livable wages = no poverty and better food security
-
Goal 5: Economic empowerment for women and girls
-
Goal 8: Safe, dignified jobs that stimulate local economies
-
Goal 12: Sustainable production using recycled and organic materials
-
Goal 13: Climate action through reduced emissions and clean materials
-
Goal 16: Direct action to fight modern slavery and injustice
Each product you carry helps push these global goals forward.
This Earth Day, Carry More Than Just a Bag
At MADE FREE, we believe ethical fashion can be beautiful, functional, and deeply impactful. Every choice—every bag, belt bag, backpack, and tote—has the power to build a freer, fairer world.
Let’s make 2025 the year of action, not just awareness.
