Your one-of-a-kind piece made from fishing net.

Your contribution to saving the seas

Genuine craftsmanship.

Join BRACENET in our fight for cleaner oceans! We create our sustainable bracelets and shopping nets from ghost nets that we have recovered from the seas – or from discarded fishing nets so that these won’t even end up at sea. Will you help us clean up the oceans? SAVE THE SEAS, WEAR A NET.

The Mediterranean Sea II shopping bag is made from a piece of ghost net that was salvaged in Greece, and a lightweight woven fabric made of 100% cotton according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. Together with the Kuhlmann tailoring company from Ankum , we have lovingly upcycled into your sustainable statement for the protection of the oceans.

The special feature: Thanks to the double-stitched, sturdy edge, the bag does not collapse like an ordinary jute bag, but keeps its shape.

Dimensions: approx. 36.5 x 42 cm (without straps), mesh size: approx. 1.8 x 1.8 cm
Wash gently at 30 °C, preferably by hand

DONATIONS GENERATED

0 + €

With our products we collect donations for marine and environmental protection. So far, we have donated €250,000 to organizations such as Healthy Seas, Sea Shepherd, Everwave, the Ocean Voyages Institute and many more. €150,000 of that goes solely to Healthy Seas – actively supporting the recovery of more ghost nets and preventive measures. More to come!

SALVAGED NETS

0 t

The 250 divers from Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving are traveling worldwide, braving wind and waves, to retrieve more and more ghost nets They have now recovered over 773 tons – roughly equivalent to the weight of 6 blue whales. Our donations fund, among other things, boat rentals, safety training, and diving equipment. Thank you for your help!

NETS UPCYCLED

0 km

After retrieval, the ghost nets are initially sorted and cleaned with water by Nofir. Then, we process them with loving upcycling craftsmanship in Hamburg into many new products, such as Bracenets and dog leashes. So far, we’ve given around 190,000 meters of net a new lease on life – equivalent to the length of a total of 8,000 sperm whales!

To find your wrist size easily:

Wrap a shoelace, ribbon, or piece of string around your wrist.
Measure the length with a ruler.
Select size depending on how tight or loose you want it (about 1cm – 1.5cm larger than circumference of the wrist). The size measurements include the closure.
