Introducing Dakine x RANGE: A Recycled Capsule Collection
PRESS RELEASES | Published Aug 11, 2020
Today, Dakine announces the launch of the Dakine x RANGE Capsule Collection, an assortment of eco-friendly bags designed to complement an on-demand lifestyle. The collection includes a barrel pack, cinch tote and accessories made from post-consumer recycled ripstop polyester and bluesign® approved material. Helping to close the loop between people, product and planet, the collection features thoughtful details like a detachable pouch for reusable metal straws and sporks, so you can ditch single-use plastics even when you’re on the go.
“Collaborating with RANGE was a natural fit for us. At Dakine, we are always focusing on using recycled materials and building products that stand the test of time, from both a durability and functionality standpoint. The team at RANGE embodies this ethos of sustainability, craftsmanship and smart design, and these qualities were top-of-mind when designing the Dakine x RANGE Capsule Collection,” says Pam Levine, SVP for Dakine.
The collection utilizes 900-denier recycled ripstop polyester with a weather-resistant coating to provide protection from the elements when on-the-go. The signature RANGE interior lining is made of a lightweight, bluesign® approved material. Other RANGE-inspired details across the collection include paracord straps and powder-coated pulls for a clean, functional aesthetic.
“We’re so excited to launch the Dakine x RANGE capsule collection. By combining Dakine’s best-in-class knowledge of all things carry with durable, post-consumer recycled materials and RANGE’s signature approach to color and print, it’s designed for modern outdoor enthusiasts that appreciate both form and function,” says RANGE Founder and Creative Director, Jeanine Pesce.
The durable Barrel Pack 25L (MSRP $85 USD) and Classic Cinch Tote 28L (MSRP $60 USD) have rugged, outdoor-inspired undertones that complement the sleek, neutral colorway to create versatile, modern styles that transition seamlessly from the office to the park, to the plane. Professional designs and a classy, yet earthy color allow you to dress the collection up or down, no matter what your day has in store. The tote and pack are equipped with purpose-built pockets for storage, a drawstring top closure to keep items secure and signature details inspired by the versatile, female-founded team at RANGE. The Dakine x RANGE Capsule Collection also includes a crossbody handbag, hip pack, accessory pouch set and five-panel cap.
