Why We Love Them

Hermès can have its crocodile skin because we have a way bigger crush on these Hamilton Perkin vinyl, pineapple leaf bags. Hamilton Perkins makes unique bags from sustainable materials, like recycled billboards and plastic water bottles. Discounting the fact that these bags are a complete feat of engineering and ingenuity, we love Hamilton Perkin bags because they look as good as they sound.

Origin Story

Hamilton Perkins was founded by …(drumroll) Hamilton Perkins. This fashion entrepreneur has his roots in banking and previously worked at Merrill Lynch as an Investment Advisor and as an Analyst at Bank of America. But in 2014, Perkins was fed up with the lack of travel bags on the market that were cool to carry but also made him feel proud to own, so he decided to take a stab at it himself. He created his own travel bag, The Earth Bag Premium, which became the brand’s first SKU. Since then, Hamilton Perkins has gone on to win numerous awards including being named by the non-profit B Lab "Best for the World Overall" B Corporation in 2017.

The TL;DR

  • Multi-functional bags like totes, backpacks, fanny packs, and more
  • Recycled Materials like plastic water bottles, pineapple leaf fiber, billboard vinyl, retractable banners, sailboat sails and more.
  • Certified B Corp

The Science & The Soul

The Science

Who knew a bag could be so cool? Hamilton Perkins sells eco-friendly bags made from recycled plastic bottles and repurposed billboard vinyl. Each bag is made of approximately 17.5 recycled plastic water bottles, one square yard of vinyl, and 10 pineapple leaves. Their bags come in a range of colors, styles and sizes to fit any occasion. 


For example, The Premium Earth Bag is basically two bags in one and is made to withstand your crazy weekend with the squad; it’s water-repellant, can fit a 15-inch” laptop, has built-in compartments for valuable, small items like passport & phone, and has adjustable straps and clips so it can be worn as a backpack or simply carried as the weekender duffel bag. Plus, It can fit in the overhead bin, so don’t worry about anyone impatiently sighing as you board the plane.  

The Soul

When you use a Hamilton Perkins bag, you not only look great but you also feel good. Between the recycled materials that make up this bag, and the company's commitment to good (they're a B Corp!) you will be proud when someone asks you to tell them more about your bag.
