Tennis star Sloane Stephens has unveiled an exclusive collaboration with GOT BAG, an eco-friendly brand specializing in backpacks and luggage crafted from recycled ocean plastic. This limited-edition capsule collection launched recently, introduces three distinct pieces, all presented in a sophisticated muted gray hue aptly named "porpoise."
The collection includes a versatile tote bag designed for everyday use and two cross-body bags available in varying sizes, catering to different needs and preferences.
Stephens collaborated closely with GOT BAG to ensure that the collection meets eco-conscious standards and resonates with her values. The ocean plastic waste sourced by GOT BAG is cleaned and sorted, pelletized, and then transformed into yarn to create new offerings. As a notable tribute to her grandfather, the bags feature embroidered motifs with the words "calmness & confidence."
