WHERE OLD ADVENTURES BECOME NEW ONES
-
Rescue
We collect retired sails, ropes, and marine vinyl before they’re discarded — giving high-performance materials a second chance.
-
Clean
Every material goes through our triple-wash process to remove salt, grit, and grime, preparing it for its next adventure.
-
Reimagine
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and sewn by hand in Seattle, combining craftsmanship, durability, and distinct style in every stitch.
-
Adventure Ready
The journey continues — transformed materials become few-of-a-kind gear ready to explore wherever life takes you.
Our process begins long before the first stitch. Every sail, climbing rope, and piece of marine vinyl we rescue has already lived a bold life — weathered the wind, braved the elements, and carried countless stories. Instead of ending in a landfill, these materials get a second chance through thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship. Each one is triple-washed, hand-cut, and sewn in Seattle, transforming from durable gear of the past into few-of-a-kind pieces built for new adventures. It’s how we reduce waste, honor the planet, and prove that sustainability can be both rugged and beautiful.
Upcycling is NOT
Recycling
At Metamorphic Gear, we call it repurposing — turning materials that once fueled adventure into gear built for the next one. It’s our way of reducing waste, extending life, and proving that every journey deserves another.
How to Start Repurposing at Home
You don’t need special tools or training to make a difference—just a little creativity and curiosity.
Here are a few easy ways to get started:
Begin with the basics. Instead of recycling those glass food jars, clean and reuse them for pantry storage, vases, or even travel containers. Small swaps add up.
Look for everyday opportunities. Challenge yourself to give new life to items you’d normally toss—old fabrics, packaging, or containers can often serve another purpose.
Get inspired. Follow us on Pinterest for simple repurposing projects you can try at home (and with your family) to make sustainability part of your daily rhythm.
