Low Tide Chair, Thomas Paul Dune High Back Chair in Anchor Stripe
Enjoy the sunshine and help protect the ocean with these adorable beach chairs from New Jersey. We admire the fact that these chairs are crafted from recycled ocean-bound plastics, giving each piece a unique narrative and character. Each Low Tide chair incorporates 3 lbs of ocean-rescued plastic in its construction, equivalent to 247 plastic bags and 150 plastic water bottles sourced from "At-Risk-Zones" worldwide. The brand has collaborated with designer Thomas Paul Dune to enhance the uniqueness of these chairs. We specifically adore the Anchor Stripe because of course when it comes to the beach, we say anchors and pinstripe all the way!
A friend introduced us to this brand and we were immediately hooked. Apolis combines style with sustainability, offering a range of chic and eco-friendly bag options for the conscious consumer. Their commitment to ethical practices and environmentally friendly materials sets them apart, proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand. Each bag is meticulously crafted in Bangladesh by hundreds of mothers, and every purchase contributes to the financial well-being of working mothers in the country. The option to customize each bag adds to its appeal. The market bag comes with beautiful soft leather handles and can hold up to 100 pounds and also features water resistant and an easy to clean interior.
