Sealand is a local lifestyle brand that is focused on responsibly made gear and apparel. Its mission is to ensure that every decision made keeps the planet and people front and centre.
All Sealand bags and apparel are handmade in Cape Town from waste or responsibly and ethically sourced materials. These materials are then combined with high-quality hardware, conscious design and expert craftsmanship to create gear that will last a lifetime.
“The upcycled and responsibly sourced materials we source are sturdy and weather resistant, making them perfect for any adventure – no matter if on land or sea.”
In addition to materials ranging from hemp to yacht sails, Sealand has recently introduced ECONYL® regenerated nylon. It can be understood as a revolutionary material made from waste, such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic. The waste is rescued, sorted and then cleaned to recover all the nylon possible. Through a radical regeneration and purification process, nylon waste is brought back to its original form. The raw material is then processed into yarns and polymers for use.
The material then meets expert craftsmanship, and for Sealand, the results are stunning. It’s hard to overlook their backpacks, which are equally trendy and functional. The Recycled Rowlie backpack is a showstopper, perfect for multi-day trails or a quick gander up Lion’s Head. So versatile, it even makes for a convenient baby bag.
‘Roll-up and go’ has never been easier:
With a fresh new look and more space to hold adventure gear and trail accessories, this creation is designed to sit snugly on your back with adjustable, curved straps.
Rowlie keeps you moving:
The 30-litre backpack, with two external water bottle pockets, is made for easy access on the go. The external padded laptop sleeve ensures devices up to 13” are safe and separate from the internal bag space.
It’s personal:
Rowlie’s signature roll-up feature allows you to adjust the bag when closing it so you can hold a variety of items, big and small. Lightweight and versatile, the upcycled backpack is ready to follow you along any path you choose to explore.
Slow fashion, fast life
Slow fashion is a movement that aims to promote a more sustainable and ethical approach to fashion design, production and consumption. It emphasises quality over quantity, encourages the use of natural and eco-friendly materials and values the craftsmanship and skills of workers.
A far cry from mass production, inside every Sealand bag is the name of the skilled craftsperson who made it, each with a unique story to share. Open your bag, find the name and QR code inside and visit the Sealand website to meet them.
Find your fit
The Recycled Rowlie backpack (R2 195) is available in four colours: stone, onyx, aqua and saffron. Whether neutral and sleek or vibrant with pops of hot pink is your vibe, there’s a hue for you. If your adventure entails getting wet, investing in a Recycled Rowlie Plus + (R2 845), with the addition of a dry bag, is a lekker bargain.
In addition to backpacks, Sealand offers everything from sleek shirts to groovy bucket hats, lunchboxes, laptop cases, moon bags, duffel bags, wallets, coolers and more. Invest in adventure gear that lasts, or spoil a loved one with an online gift voucher.
