Our Story
Metamorphic Gear is the brainchild of Lindsay Lawrence, a world traveler, sailor and lover of the outdoors. Inspired by the outdoor equipment that he used while hiking, Lindsay wanted to design a range of stylish but reliable eco-friendly products for the outdoor enthusiast to use in their urban lifestyle. Having been involved with sailing both professionally and recreationally, Lindsay witnessed the durability of sail material before it was sent to landfill so decided to give it a new lease of life as the major ingredient in Metamorphic Gear’s products.
Lindsay’s drive to create a company that is earth minded and forward thinking while always maintaining its integrity has attracted a team of likeminded folks. We are driven to innovate, create and deliver stylish, upcycled products you will be happy to bring into your urban life.
Our Process
At Metamorphic Gear we are upcyclers, not recyclers! We transform unwanted sail material destined for landfill into stylish bags and accessories. A material that once moved boats over the oceans now helps you look good and feel good as you move through your day. When you think about it, by using materials already made, we lesson production of new materials, meaning even less landfill. Additionally all of our products are sourced and handmade right here in the US, meaning minimal transport effects on the environment and jobs for US workers.
