Bellroy's new “Marine Blue” range of bags follows on the heels of their “Red Earth” collection in that they're made from recycled materials, except these materials are sourced from pre-consumer industrial waste that form the basis of the company's own “Baida” nylon.

Named for the ocean and based on the Korean word for ‘sea’ (bada 바다), this high-performance recycled nylon is naturally durable and lightweight, featuring a heat-treated yarn for an intriguing and unique crinkle-textured matte finish, along with a compact weave for added robustness in the face of both the elements and everyday wear-and-tear.

As a bonus, the fabric has also been treated with an environmentally friendly water-resistant coating.

Chase Reeves talks a lot about the look and feel of this nylon in his review of the Bellroy “Apex” bag (which was the first to test the fabric):

Mildly NSFW for language

This is a material that performs admirably in the outdoors while meeting the aesthetic and sensory needs of indoor settings. You're gonna love it.

The Marine Blue collection spans a number of bag styles — most of which are pictured above — including backpacks, slings, and totes, plus some newly released travel-specific backpacks and weekenders (which will be fantastic when we're all able to venture out into the world again):

• Classic Backpack (20L) ($139) and Classic Backpack Plus (30L) ($179) — Can't go wrong with this all-rounder style.
• Sling ($99) and Sling Mini ($89) — An agile pouch for hands-free trips in the city, that keeps your pockets light.
• Tokyo Tote ($129) — A clever kind of carry-all.
• Duo Totepack ($289) — Successfully marries the look of a backpack with the functionality of a tote bag.
• Weekender 30L ($249) (also available in 45L for $279) — A weekend and travel bag with easy organization.
• Flight Bag ($329) — A professional carry-on that goes from the office to the airport.
• Transit Backpack ($239) and Transit Backpack Plus ($289) — An extra capacity backpack for big adventures.

They've also got plans to add a Classic Pouch, Dopp Kit, Pencil Case, and Tech Kit to the lineup, so stay tuned for those.
