Bags & accessories made for everyday adventures from upcycled wetsuits.


The Upcycle Movement is a creative design studio specialising in transforming waste into worth.

Neo Collection is our debut design collection, which are bags and accessories made from upcycled wetsuits for everyday adventures. We are also home to ‘Re Source’  – a platform for sourcing waste streams (resources) and connecting these with designers who can repurpose them. We facilitate talks and workshops which focus on upcycling and finding a business opportunity in locally sourced waste materials.
