- story by MaterialDistrict

Strandgut is a fabric crafted from marina seaweed, offering versatile applications. It is insulating, has an anti-bacterial effect, is resistant to mould, flame and moisture.

The natural waste product seaweed washed up on the Baltic coast has to be removed by the coastal communities to keep the beach attractive to tourists. The dried and cleaned seagrass is then sewn together with organic yarn. The material does not contain any oil-based materials and can be recycled or returned to the natural cycle.

Further processed into a sustainable beach bag, the seagrass returns to the place where we know it from as beach visitors, but can be used in all thinkable areas.
