Adventure with Purpose: Why the Sherpani x REI Collection is the Ultimate Eco-Friendly Travel Companion
We believe your bag should work as hard as you do—and with the Sherpani x REI Collection, it finally can. Designed for travelers who care as much about their journey as they do about the planet, this collaboration blends adventure-ready functionality with cutting-edge sustainability. Whether you’re navigating city streets or trekking remote trails, these eco-conscious bags are built to go wherever you do—without compromising on style, security, or ethics.
Built for the Values-Driven Explorer
The Sherpani x REI Collections isn’t just another travel collection—it’s a celebration of the two things we care about most: movement and meaning. These bags are designed for active and engaged travelers—those who believe that how we move through the world matters. They’re thoughtfully built to support your every step, whether that’s on the trail, catching a train, or chasing down sunsets.
These bags are durable enough to withstand the trials of any adventure, stylish enough to transition seamlessly into everyday life, and functional enough to make packing, organizing, and carrying the weight, all a breeze.
The best part? At the heart of it all is purpose-driven design rooted in sustainable practices.
At Sherpani, sustainability isn't just a trend—it’s one of the core values this company stands upon. For over a decade, we've been repurposing plastic bottles into high-performance fabrics, giving new life to materials that would otherwise pollute oceans and landfills. And this collection proudly continues that tradition.
Each bag in the Sherpani x REI line is made from 100% recycled materials, helping to divert waste from the planet and transform it into something functional and beautiful. Here’s a look at a couple of the stand-out materials you’ll find:
● Repurposed Plastic Bottles: These bags are made with post-consumer plastic that’s been spun into durable yarns. Just one Sherpani bag can reuse up to 38 bottles!
â—Ź Ghost Nets: Ocean pollution is a global issue, and a large portion comes from abandoned fishing gear. Select bags in this collection feature plastic hardware made from recovered fishing nets, reducing marine waste while protecting sea life.
Security that Travels With You and For You
Traveling with peace of mind is just as important as traveling with a light footprint. That’s why Sherpani's award-winning anti-theft features are built into this earth-friendly collection. Perfect for solo travelers, globetrotters, and urban explorers alike, these features help keep your personal items safe without any hassle. Here’s what you can expect:
â—Ź RFID-blocking technology that protects your personal information from digital theft.
â—Ź Locking zippers and anti-slash fabric for added protection in crowded areas (subways, monuments, trains, etc.)
● Chair locks and key leashes that make staying safe and secure—keeping your belongings locked down and worry-free—effortless.
That’s what makes this line so impactful. It allows you to enjoy peace of mind with anti-theft features and uphold your values with eco-friendly textiles—all while investing in bags that are made to last.
Bags Rooted in Belief
The Sherpani x REI Collection isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how you get there, what you carry, and what you stand for. It's for women (and all travelers) who refuse to choose between form and function, who want gear that supports both their adventures and their ethics.
When you carry one of our bags, you’re doing more than choosing a stylish travel companion. You’re making a statement: that sustainability matters, that style can be smart, and that adventure can have a deeper purpose.
