Turtle Totes x STOKEDNZ — The Tote That Cares!
Meet your new summer sidekick — the Turtle Tote.
Ethically made. Built for adventure.
Why we love these totes:
- Made from recycled plastic water bottles (yep, trash → treasure)
- Ethically crafted in Java by an incredible women’s community group — providing fair, reliable work for local legends
- Thick, durable, chuck-in-the-back-of-the-ute-and-send-it quality
- Oversized + strong As — fits towels, snacks, swimmers, 10,000 sand toys, you name it
- Wipe-clean = zero soggy bag vibes
- Epic colours + minimalist design = ready for the beach, the office, the markets, the gym… everywhere
- The Story (aka the reason this tote hits different):
🐢 Terry was diving with turtles → saw how much plastic crap was floating around → changed his life → started turning plastic bottles into totes instead.
🏖️ Debs hit her head → realised life is short → wanted to do cool sh*t that matters → created Towelies and built a business that treats makers like humans, not machines.
Now their missions collide — less waste, more stoke, fair pay, good humans doing good things.
The Vibe
Pair it with a Towelie or beach towel and you’ve got the ULTIMATE summer combo ⚡
Surf trips • Lake days • Van life • Hot pools missions • Boat days • Farmers market hauls • Mum-life chaos containment — this tote does it all.
