RedStars

The Bel­gi­an brand Red­Stars makes hip bags and matching sus­tainable mouth masks. In this way, they want to help ever­yo­ne get back out­side in a safe and com­for­ta­ble way. Thanks to the inno­va­ti­ve 3D knit­ting tech­ni­que, the masks and bags are knit­ted in one pie­ce and no extra was­te is crea­ted during production. 

Innovative mouth mask

Red­Stars reusable masks are made of 100% poly­es­ter and have a water-repel­lent exte­ri­or. The insi­de is anti­bac­te­ri­al and has a cool­down func­tion. In bet­ween, you can place an N95 fil­ter, making the mask as effi­ci­ent as the FFP2 masks. With their inno­va­ti­ve mouth masks, the brand won The Tex­ti­ra­ma Foun­da­ti­on Award in 2021, the pri­ze for inno­va­ti­on in the tex­ti­le world.

Circulair handbags

The Red­Stars bags are deli­bera­te­ly made from 100% recy­cled poly­es­ter. Mil­li­ons of back­packs, tra­vel and hand­bags end up in land­fills every year. When the­se are made from dif­fe­rent mate­ri­als, the recy­cling pro­cess is expen­si­ve and the bags are often just burnt.

Becau­se the Red­Stars bags are made of the same mate­ri­al, they are easy to recy­cle. Is your bag worn out after years of use or do you need a dif­fe­rent colour? Bring your bag to one of the points of sale or through the web­site. Red­Stars will make sure your bag gets a sus­tainable destination. 

Bags that are still in good con­di­ti­on are clea­ned and sold in the second-hand cir­cuit. The pro­ceeds go to a social cau­se. Bags that are worn out are crus­hed and recy­cled into new yarn. In this way Red­Stars avo­ids the was­te moun­tain to grow! Some­thing we at COSH! Can only applaud.

Important remark

The Red­Stars mouth masks and bags are made of poly­es­ter. This means that micro­pla­s­tics are released during washing. The­se end up in the sea and are harmful to the envi­ron­ment and ani­mals. At COSH! we recom­mend always washing syn­the­tic mate­ri­als with a Gup­py Fri­end. This bag cat­ches the small micro­pla­s­tics, so they do not end up in nature.

Ethical

The Red­Stars bags and mouth masks are pro­du­ced in Chi­na (more info about the pro­du­cer here). The finis­hing stit­ching is curr­ent­ly also done in Chi­na. Red­Stars plans to move this work to Bel­gi­um. This in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Cell­ma­de, who offer employ­ment to detai­nees.
