Five Travel Gear Companies That Give Back To The World

November 6, 2009 at 9:45 AM | by kellycrabb | 0 Comments

We talk about Travel Gear a lot here at Jaunted, and issues like Green Travel just as much. Merging the two are some innovative companies, who specialize not only in producing eco-friendly travel products, but also giving back to their communities and promoting a positive image of a global citizen. Perhaps when you're looking for your next piece of luggage, a new swim coverup, or even a full-size tent for that camping trip, you'll remember that there are options out there doing good for the world while they help you enjoy your trip.

Without further ado, here are a few of those companies: Five Travel Gear Companies That Give Back To The World:

Matt & Nat
In case you didn’t know, this uber-hip Vegan handbag line out of Montreal makes fashionable bags and wallets and totes from recycled water bottles. In addition to being environmentally smart, designer Inder Bedi gives back to various charities throughout Europe, Canada and the United States. From battered women’s shelters to animal rights, Bedi cares. He also sees that hundreds of homeless people eat a vegetarian meal twice annually in their home base of Montreal.

Additionally, a dollar for every bag sold goes to the charity of your choice. Within the first quarter, the line has accumulated charitable contribution dollars exceeding $16,000. Our favorite item? A little perfect-for-your-passport Men’s Murse.
