The "Lively Up" bag collection is comprised of everyday use packs and totes made with The House of Marley's unique blend of eco-fabric called REWIND™ fabric. Exclusive to The House of Marley, REWIND fabric is composed of reclaimed hemp and organic cotton, combined with the fibers of recycled water bottles (rPET) and finished using water-based dyes.  The House of Marley "Lively Up" Collection is on-sale now at www.TheHouseofMarley.com and will be available at select independent and major retailers starting later this month. Anyone attending AGENDA Long Beach August 1-2 and Project Las Vegas August 20-22, can check out the entire collection from The House of Marley, including recently launched audio products.

The House of Marley has been working on the development of the REWIND fabric since early 2011. Unhappy with the quality and feel of other earth-friendly materials readily available on the market, The House of Marley created a fabric from scratch that is durable and functional and adheres to the Marley family belief that people should limit their impact on the planet by recycling materials already available whenever possible.

Functional, understated and durable, the "Lively Up" bag collection contains more than 15 models in various colorways and constructions. Suitable for casual hikes, overnight trips, excursions to the store or the morning commute, the "Lively Up" bag collection adds style with a subdued, earth-friendly vibe. In addition to utilizing REWIND fabric, hardware on the bags is custom molded with a low impact plating process for the best in eco-form and function. Leather models are colored using vegetable dye and feature a TPU coating for extra weather resistance.  Many feature iPad/tablet and laptop compartments, making them even more appropriate for modern pursuits.
