For their latest collaboration master-piece and REBIRTH PROJECT launch a sustainability-minded fashion capsule that sees upcycled airbags being used for the production of backpacks, shoulder bags, and vests. The collection is identified through an incredibly playful name--'Airback.'

The range is made possible through the blending of the repurposed nylon from the upcycled Airbags, [OEKO-TEX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials) certified recycled polyester, and Inochika leather which is sourced from "already deceased deer." As a result, master-piece and REBIRTH PROJECT are able to launch a [minimalist and chic fashion collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-x-beams) that is also eco-friendly and performance-ready.

In addition, pieces in the Airback collection are made in factories that are actively working toward preserving energy, as well as reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Taking these factors into consideration, this collaboration becomes "as low-impact as [it] can be."
