Re.Bag.Re.Use

Re.Bag.Re.Use is an initiative that started off as a hobby during the Covid-19 lockdown, where empty bread bags were being repurposed and crocheted into beautiful multi functional items. It has successfully been building momentum in Hout Bay, Cape Town and is now extending its footprint to Koedoespoort, Pretoria. The idea is to repurpose your clean, soft plastic into beautiful products; making something out of nothing. Instead of the plastic bags landing up as an unsightly mess next to the side of the road, landfill or ocean, they are being turned into art pieces. With Re.Bag.Re.Use we are able to reduce some of the plastic generated and at the same time create an opportunity for women to make extra pocket money and be able to put bread on the table by making beautiful functional products. From each sale a percentage also gets donated to the Neighbourhood Old Age Home (NOAH) in Woodstock, and the SPCA.
