ENCORE's Origin Story:

In 2016, Emma started climbing into skip bins. With signed consent, obviously.

She spent five years sourcing waste from local Nelson businesses, testing materials, building relationships, until she found the perfect match. The goal was simple but not easy: find a consistent waste stream and turn it into something worth keeping.

She found it at Aflex. A Nelson company that manufactures custom inflatables for clients around the world. Their offcuts from bespoke jobs are thick, technical-grade fabric: the kind built to hold air under pressure, survive rough handling, and survive 10 years floating on water. The straps are from the 3R recycling scheme Seat Smart recycling expired infant car seats. The labels from

Today, every ENCORE Bag is made from those Aflex offcuts. The colourways depend entirely on what jobs have been running. She makes five sizes, from a compact WEDGE to a generous LARGE hauler, and they're built for the full chaos of real life: groceries, library books, outdoor gear, muddy gear bags, market hauls.

The feedback we love most isn't from new customers. It's from people who bought an ENCORE Bag ten years ago and are writing in to say it's still going. That's the whole idea. Built to last. Built from what was already here.
