Urban Junket’s T.O.T.E. (to observe the Earth) collection creates a marriage of environmental functionality and deliberate design.  The exterior is a coated canvas, made with 100% organic cotton and azo-free dyes.  The cool blue lining is all RPET fabric, made from recycled plastic water bottles transformed to thread and dyed using 100% organic vegetable dyes.

The T.O.T.E.
