Welcome to BambooChutes! Once the sails or wings are grounded they become landfill. No two bags are identical. I never know what I will get to work with.

I make my reusable bags from the incredibly strong ripstop nylon fabric and cords of used paragliders- giant sails with a life span that renders them unusable when they can no longer pass safety inspections. Creating eco-friendly totes from post consumer materials involves more work and time than making something from new materials. I must first procure the used chutes, disassemble a complexly con

structed paraglider and wash all the materials before I can begin the process of designing, cutting out, piecing and sewing the bags. Each paraglider that I get is different in color and construction. These paragliders have sailed in some ot the most beautiful places on earth. Each wing has its own story.
