Pioneering circularity since 2009

Pearl Izumi x Looptworks Upcycled Bike Bags Turn Scraps in Storage

Pearl Izumi partners with Looptworks to turn jacket scraps from the cutting room floor into upcycled bike bags.

Note: This article reflects Looptworks’ earlier work in upcycling. Today, we focus on textile-to-textile recycling, producing high-quality recycled fiber for manufacturing applications.

If no one told me Pearl Izumi’s new collection of five cycling-specific bags was made from fabric scraps, I don’t think I would know it. 

Materials that make sense for the functions they’re supposed to perform in a tight suite of complementary colors define the tidy array. Why reinvent the wheel when you can just make it again out of the pieces left over from making it the first time? (Or something like that.). See the full article, here >

This article on GearJunkie highlights a collaboration between Looptworks and Pearl Izumi, focusing on upcycling unused cycling gear into high-quality bike bags. Looptworks, known for its commitment to sustainability, repurposes excess fabric from Pearl Izumi’s manufacturing process to create durable, stylish bags instead of letting materials go to waste.

The initiative aligns with Looptworks’ mission to reduce textile waste and promote circular fashion by transforming discarded materials into functional products. This approach helps minimize environmental impact and extends the life cycle of materials that would otherwise be discarded.

By partnering with brands like Pearl Izumi, Looptworks continues to lead the way in sustainable design and upcycled gear, making eco-friendly choices more accessible to outdoor and cycling enthusiasts.
