Coolest Recycled Bags Ever- M-24 Review!

I've always been a huge fan of recycled products - they are ethical, fashionable and helps the environment in numerous ways. Today, I want to talk about two bags that I got from M-24, an awesome shop that sells bags and accessories made from recycled tarpaulin. Let's start with a little about the shop- founded by Mat Dusting, M-24's products aims to recycle tarpaulin materials and transform them into durable, ski-friendly and fashionable bags. Mat decided to design his own bags after many of his own backpacks broke during university, and the result is that he created an awesome range of bags that features unique and stylish designs. 

I was initially attracted by the designs of the bags because every single one of M-24's bags are different. Since they are made using recycled tarpaulin, the original designs of the tarpaulin are retained and this makes every bag unique, down to the little imperfections and details on the material itself. M-24 has a lovely range of roll top backpacks which feature a stylish design, and these reminds very much of the street-styled backpacks I see in designer shops. 

M-24 also sells totes, messenger bags, laptop sleeves and document bags, amongst other things which are all made from the same recycled material. Every single one of their products are unique and different, so you're bound to stand out from the crowd if you get an M-24 piece! 

The first bag I received was this gorgeous blue and white Medium Rolltop bag. M-24 sells roll top backpacks of all sizes and shapes, but the Medium one was the best for me since it wasn't too big or too small. I was amazed at the design of the bag- the material is thick, waterproof and durable, and the colors are bold and pop out in a lovely, stylish way. In fact, the rough and natural patterns on the recycled tarpaulin added to the edgy, street-styled vibe that the backpack gives. I adore the blue and white colour too, and M-24 has a variety of bags that comes in any colour you can imagine!

As for the quality, I found that the bag was incredibly well made and beautifully stitched. Designed using truck tarpaulin, these roll top backpacks are designed to withstand tough environments and wear. I love the fact that there is a little buckle on the top because it keeps any items inside the bag safe from rain and windy conditions. The back-straps are comfortable and soft, and it felt very comfortable to carry on my body.

M-24 also sells a variety of accessories, including this lovely Gold A4 Document bag that I got. I chose this design because of it's vibrant and bold color- yellow isn't something I always get but this document bag stood out because it looked super durable and beautiful. I love the design of the document case because it had a lovely large zip at the top, reminding me of how tough and durable the bag is. I also love the black inner lining of the bag, because it protects my documents very well when I carry it to class.

As for the quality, once again M-24 impresses with their immaculate manufacturing and finish. The texture of the bag is smooth and soft, and you can see all the original marks of the tarpaulin on the surface which gives it a unique and vibrant feel. M-24 also sells macbook sleeves and wallets, which are super stylish as well.

Overall, I can't say how much I love my bags from M-24. They are ethical, environmentally friendly, gorgeous and stylish, and the unisex designs means that they'd make an excellent gift for both men and women during Valentines Day or the upcoming festivities. I highly recommend their roll top bags because of the unique and stunning designs!
