# Chic Upcycled Mask Designs Onzie's Mindful Masks are Performance-Driven and Locally Made By Kalin Ned | Published 2021-08-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-mask-design References: [onzie](https://www.onzie.com/collections/mindful-masks) Available for kids and grownups, these upcycled mask designs by Onzie are stylish and sustainable. The brand focused on optimizing the silhouette of its face coverings. This has resulted in safe and mindful masks that are reusable, washable, and moisture-wicking. The performance-driven cuts are exceptionally breathable, enabling wearers to be comfortable even while running and working out. The upcycled mask designs are created out of leftover activewear material—Onzie is best known for its [sports and lounge pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-motions-collection)—and are manufactured in LA. Conscious of the implications of the ongoing health crisis, the brand has also donated thousands of masks to local hospitals and a portion of the proceeds [of its Onzie Mindful Masks] to the [Center For Disaster Philanthropy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-pinot-noir)."
