One of our favorite eco-friendly travel companions is undoubtedly our Bumi duffle bag.
You can carry it everywhere you go, whether you're camping, traveling long/ short distances, trekking, etc.
- Measuring 13" (H) x 20" (W) x 12" (D), this smart bag offers the best of both worlds— space and easy access.

- Bumi duffle is capacious and portable, and made of durable 14-oz Certified Fairtrade Organic cotton canvas.
If you are a light traveler or want to pack something extra, then a travel backpack may be the answer. The benefits of carrying a backpack are abundant. The design and construction of our Earth Backpack contribute to how much they can hold while keeping useful travel essentials like a water bottle within arm's reach. Once you arrive at your destination, you can use it for activities and errands without needing to switch to a different bag.
This energetic, sustainable backpack has a ton of travel conveniences and was made with movement in mind. The space generosity makes storing and retrieving things super easy with an internally accessible laptop/tablet sleeve for those who take their work with them. With Earth Backpack, you can organize your clothes, toiletries, and other items in the smart built-in storage sections just like any other bag, but with the advantage of lightweight travel which fits right into the art of environmentally conscious travel!
If backpack is a bit too much for daily use, try our sustainable fanny pack!
Luggage weight matters when you travel, especially if you're traveling by air. This is because cargo weight greatly impacts an airplane's carbon emissions. Study shows 2.5% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion are caused by passenger air travel. Further, passenger aircraft make up approximately 85% of the CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. The ecology will appreciate you for packing light and taking only what is necessary.
It is best to bring only universally compatible, everyday clothes like crew neck t-shirts that fulfill the mix-and-match department. Our Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) Cotton t-shirt will keep you cool in hotter temperatures, and the natural fabric adds to the t-shirt's durability. Prewashed and preshrunk, this soft t-shirt will become the backbone of your wardrobe.
Our organic cotton hoodies lend a modern and incredibly cozy appearance. The environmentally friendly ROC cotton fabric, dynamic design, softness, and lightweight make it one fine contender for any travel excursion! Available in two styles: Zip-Up Hoodie and Pullover Hoodie.
Traveling is fun but is often accompanied by the headache of carefully packing all of your toiletries into a carry-on. So, while carrying your beauty and hygiene liquids is justified, you don't have to use plastic bags to transport them. Eco-friendly toiletry bags are fantastic options to keep items organized and save space. This sustainable toiletry bag serves as an impressive demonstration of how the best eco-friendly toiletry bags can look exquisite without abusing the planet's resources.
The case has a side carry handle that is convenient for travel and a long pull zipper for easy access. The 4.5L interior capacity helps store ample items while keeping them organized at all times!
