Dunsel's partners with boating and sailing organizations to up-cycle sailboat sails, marine canvas, upholstery material, and any durable outdoor fabric that still has life. They began with an industrial sewing machine and a desire to use business as an avenue for good. 

Dunsel’s started as a fundraising effort for the Florida State University Sailing Club, but after finding success with the tote bag, the company added three more products to address the small fabric waste they were collecting. 

They travel all around the U.S. to stop any outdoor fabric from ending up in landfills. To reduce the carbon footprint, they move fabric around via a ride share with anyone already heading to Tallahassee. 

After cleaning and cutting the fabric, they pair sailboat sails with upcycled marine canvas and upholstery liners to give their product the ability to be long-lasting and water-resistant. They still sew their fanny packs in-house, but the tote, dopp, and duffel are made by sewing contractors in Florida.
