🌿 Wrapped with Purpose, Delivered with Care


A huge thank you to all our lovely customers for your continued support! 💛

Just a quick heads-up: Wednesday, 12th June will be our last delivery day before we take a short mid-year breather.

We'll be pausing deliveries from 12th to 23rd June, returning to our regular schedule on Monday, 24th June—refreshed and ready to go!


Each bag you see here is one-of-a-kind, handcrafted from repurposed materials — including dinghies and lifejackets used in refugee journeys. Every piece features unique color combinations and may carry small imperfections that reflect the resilience and history of the materials. These details make each bag truly special.

To stay true to our zero-waste values, your order is carefully packed using upcycled and sustainable materials — reused paper, cardboard, second-hand courier bags, and packaging from our own deliveries. 🌍✨

Please note: we do not offer custom orders, as our materials are limited and reclaimed. This approach supports sustainability and enables us to provide stable, dignified employment.

Testimonials

I've got my backpack a few days ago and I was so glad about it! It not only looks nice, is perfect for everyday use (easy to wear it, doesn't hurt at the shoulders, is stable enough for my back but soft enough to put everything you need inside, has got a perfect size), it also is so important to spread the message of safe passages until the whole Camp is evacuated and everybody respect eachother as human beings! I want to send so much love and help <3 Thank all of you!

I´m more than happy with my small pencil case. It looked nice on the photos but even nicer in reality. The quality is also very good. Highly recommended!

My Safe Passage 'Moon Bag' - just perfect to hold thoughts and dreams of solidarity inside.

My Safe Passage backpack constructed of floral printed material and other prescient, evocative lifejacket patchwork speaks of Lesvos Solidarity's strength, spirit and community. Thank you

I love this bag. Well made, lightweight, has everything you want in a backpack. The poignancy of the materials remind me every time I use it of the humanitarian struggles we must also continue to bear witness to and to remind others.

Just bought this beautiful bag in Christiania while visiting Copenhagen.

The bright orange provides me safety while I'm riding my bike. Thank you.

I've been trying to find a 'zero waste' case for my laptop for quite a while... this is the best!

The bag is very well made and looks great. It is incredibly protective, particularly due to the foam and buckle. What a fantastic way to repurpose used lifejackets.
Thank you, I will be telling all my friends and buying more safe passage bags :-)
