Everyday Adventure Bags
Built for the outdoor person, Haiku knows that the accessories you wear shouldn't hurt the planet you love. That's why each of their bags is made from CyclePET, a certified brand of recycled polyester fabric. By keeping an average of 9 plastic water bottles out of the landfill for each bag they produce, Haiku is able to create functional bags with a lower impact on the environment. According to Haiku, using recycled polyester instead of its virgin counterpart reduces energy use by 50%, water use by 20%, and air pollution by 60%!
In addition to their focus on sustainable manufacturing, Haiku ensures that each bag is created in a safe and fair environment. Haiku is very up front with the fact that many of their bags are produced in China, where workers are well known for their craftsmanship and skill set in the bag-making industry. Haiku is in daily contact with their factory and visits twice per year, ensuring that their strict code of conduct is followed. They have no tolerance for child labor, forced labor, safety hazards, or coercion in their factories.
Last but not least, Haiku makes sure to inspire and promote women's empowerment. Haiku supports Girls on the Run, a charity that encourages preteen girls to develop self respect and healthy lifestyles. They also donate products to various women's organizations, and hosted their very own Haiku Supports Strong Women event, which serves to recognize incredible women in a variety of fields who are achieving their goals.
