Stella McCartney teams up with Parley for the Oceans on long-term project

Stella McCartney has teamed up with Parley for the Oceans on a long-term project named ‘Ocean Legends’. McCartney already previously designed a pair of trainers made from ocean plastic, instead of woven/recycled polyester in her designs. 

As well as being made from upcycled marine plastic, each piece in the collection will be dedicated to individual pioneers within the ocean movement, as a "symbol of recognition". The first design, which will recognise Greenpeace co-founder Paul Watson, is an update on the existing Falabella Go backpack. Made from recycled polyester fabric salvaged from the sea, it will feature the brand's signature braided Falabella chain across its pocket, as well as Sea Shepherd badges, all made from ocean plastic.

Parley for the Oceans is the space and network where the creative industries come together to raise awareness about the oceans and collaborate on projects that can end their destruction. The ocean is a vital part of our planet and we are running out of time to save it.
