There is something I find especially inspiring about craftsmen taking scraps or something considered as waste and making it into a beautiful, highly-desired product. That is exactly the work of Luke Mathers and Truce Designs.
Luke first learned to sew industrial-grade fabrics while repairing sails and making boat covers. It was in that job that he discovered the scrap bin and the opportunity to reuse unwanted materials to make bags for his friends and family. Luke’s belief in environmentally responsible design and manufacturing led him to create Truce Designs.
Today we are talking about how he takes old sails, scraps of wetsuit fabric and other high-performance materials and makes them into incredibly durable duffle bags, backpacks, messenger bags and dopp kits. Each textile Luke uses has a history, and a story to tell. Some have spent years voyaging open waters, other fabrics are repurposed from the factory floor.
Be sure to listen to the entire episode because Luke and I have something up our sleeves that you don’t want to miss hearing about.
About Luke and Truce Designs
Luke learned to sew industrial-grade fabrics while repairing sails and making boat covers at North Sails Oregon. There he discovered the loft’s scrap bin, his first source of materials for crafting bags and accessories for his friends and family. Luke’s belief in environmentally responsible design and manufacturing led him to create Truce, a small collection of high-performance bags crafted from reclaimed materials.
