Keen's Harvest III line uses upcycled side-impact airbags for durable bags and wallets.
Keen's foray into upcycling — its scrap material-based Harvest line — debuts a third round of designs on its website this month.
The Harvest III line of bags and wallets is made from repurposed, pre-consumer automobile airbags. The airbag scraps are collected by Keen, dyed to match the color scheme and sewn up in a Chico, Calif.-based facility.
