Sealand: The Sustainable and Stylish Adventure Gear

1 min read

Are you an outdoor enthusiast who loves spending time in nature? Do you want to invest in adventure gear that is both stylish and sustainable? Look no further than Sealand – a local lifestyle brand that creates responsibly made gear and apparel, all handmade in Cape Town from waste or ethically and responsibly sourced materials.

A Mission for Sustainability

Sealand has a clear mission – to ensure that every decision made keeps the planet and people front and centre. Their gear is made from materials ranging from hemp to yacht sails, and they have recently introduced ECONYL® regenerated nylon – a revolutionary material made from waste such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic. Sealand rescues and sorts the waste, cleans it to recover all possible nylon, and then uses it to create durable and weather-resistant gear.
