General

The most common question we are asked and it's more simple than you might think! We founded OneNine5 with a passion to travel and visit a new country and there are 195 countries on planet earth to visit.

We were inspired to take a positive action by the great man, Sir David Attenborough and Sunday evenings spent watching Blue Planet II. Whales, like all marine life are being severely impacted by ocean plastic.

Aside from being incredibly cool animals, whales are global travellers, just like us. Humpback whales can clock up over 16,000 miles (25,000 km) a year on their annual migration.

We are a team of four, primarily based in London, UK. Our products are designed in Shoreditch, East London.

Our eco-conscious travel goods are manufactured in China. We have a great relationship with a responsible manufacturer. We pay a fair price to them for our goods, ensuring they provide their staff with the right working conditions and salaries.

We want to challenge gender stereotypes that exist in the travel goods industry. Your gender shouldn't define your actions and tastes.

When we set out to redesign our eco-conscious wash bag in 2018 we quickly noticed that brown or brown leather wash bags were the common choice for males whilst floral cotton pouches were aimed for females.

- Havelock Blue- inspired by the beautiful blue waters surrounding a small island that forms part of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India.
- Komodo Pink- inspired by the sparkling pink sandy beach you'll discover on Komodo Island, Indonesia.
- Miho Black- inspired by the long strip of black volcanic sand, on the Miho Peninsula in Japan.
- Moeraki Grey- inspired by the Moeraki Boulders at Koekohe Beach on New Zealand's, South Island.text to answer questions in as much detail as possible for your customers.

Eco Efforts

We refer to our travel goods as ‘eco-conscious’, to prioritise transparency and trust with you. To us, ‘eco-conscious’ says we are not perfect but we promise you that we are trying. We are committed to ensure that OneNine5 positively impacts our planet and the environment.

Want to read more about our environmental sustainability priorities and commitments? Click here.

Yes! Across our entire range, no animal products are used in any of our materials.

Yes, you're right! Our outer vegan leather is made from a recyclable polyurethane. After testing we felt it was the most durable and long lasting option.

Fast fashion and the disposable mindset are harming our planet, over consumption is a huge problem. We design our travel goods to be well used (and hopefully well loved) for years to come. We believe you should ‘buy less and buy well’. Purchasing good quality items that last will prevent the need to repurchase and as a result, create less waste.

Want to read more about the materials used in our eco-conscious travel goods? Click here.

The water repellent lining of all our travel goods is made from recycled polyester, often referred to as rPET and certified by Global Recycled Standard.

This is a great way to reuse plastic from some of the worst contributors like single-use drinks bottles.

Want to read more about the materials used in our eco-conscious travel goods? Click here.

We repurpose off-cuts of textiles and materials, like the zipper pullers of our Eco-Conscious Wash Bags.

We reuse the 100% recycled plastic lining across different products.

We don't launch limited edition colours, we'll launch a new colour if he's here to stay to ensure all material is used.

The coconut fibre padding of our Eco-Conscious Laptop Sleeve is pre-cuts to ensure almost zero waste.

Good news! When you return your well-used travel products to us, we'll give you a discount code for 15% off your next order.

Yes, there's a couple more suggestions to ensure our travel goods don't end up in landfill at the end of life.

1. We've teamed up with ReGain App and UK customers can recycle our products, amongst other textiles via this app.

2. You can find your nearest textile recycle bin in your local area via this link.

We've written a blog post here to explain more about all the options.

This means we produce a net zero amount of carbon dioxide associated with the shipment of your package.

In order to achieve this we offset the CO2 emissions of each delivery, by donating contributions towards Pachama’s forest conservation project Acapa – Bajo Mira y Frontera in Colombia.

Amazing, we'd love to hear it! We're not perfect and with the support of our customers and community, we want to improve. Get in touch and share your ideas.

Product FAQs

Wash Bag

Our Eco-Conscious Wash Bag has been created with the requirements of the modern traveller in mind.

The dimensions of the outer wash bag are (H x L x W): 18 x 23 x 7cm with a 2.9 Litre volume.  

The dimensions of the airport approved clear liquid toiletry bag are (H x L x W): 16 x 22 x 3cm, with a 1 Litre volume.

Our top tip for cleaning the outer vegan leather is to give it a good wipe with a non-abrasive, antibacterial & biodegradable wipe.

Just make sure it doesn't include any kind of bleaching agent.

If you prefer to use a natural cleaning agent, opt for apple cider vinegar, combined with water.

We've carefully designed the removable and clear pouch to comply with EU & TSA airport security requirements. To ensure we comply, the pouch is:

1 litre in volume.

both transparent & resealable.

To read more on this, UK air passengers can find government information here. US air passengers can find government information here.

We have heard of isolated occasions where a member of the airport security staff has instructed passengers to replace their toiletries and cosmetics into a single-use bag at the airport.

There's no government guidance that stipulates the clear bag must be issued by the airport and we're trying to educate and change this incorrect guidance.

If this occurs when travelling, please let us know so we can contact the airport to challenge this...and ditch the single-use plastic bag for good!

Yes - most electric brushes will fit in the elastic loop. It is designed to store either an electric or manual brush

Yes, it does! This was one of our crucial design elements, which is zipped away in the outer rear. It's ideal to hang up the wash bag in the gym, on the bathroom door or even a more adventurous setting...like a tree branch whilst camping.

We have tested the wash bag hanging hook up to a weight of 5kg (should you have that many toiletries).  

Where our products are stored in a warehouse prior to dispatch, the colder temperature can cause that condensation/ cloudy effect on the clear TPU pouch.

Our products are stored in a sealed clear bag and are never opened or tampered with prior to shipment.

The more you use the wash bag, the easier you’ll find the zip glides. We opted to use a waterproof zipper and this might feel a little different to a zipper on a regular garment or piece of clothing.

We’ve all been there when there’s a dreaded spillage or one of your toiletries burst on-the-go. If that happens the waterproof zip on the wash bag will ensure that the leak won’t seep out into your bag or suitcase too.

Unsurprisingly, airports weren't prepare to share this data with us, so we conducted our own research...which nearly resulted in our Founder, Alex getting arrested at Gatwick Airport!

We combined data shared with us from staff at Gatwick airport, alongside our own data recorded of passengers passing through Gatwick Airport. We applied this model to all UK air passengers, which is obtained from public information shared via the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

Absolutely! We’re privileged to have a great relationship with the Ostomy community who use our wash bag to organise and carry their stoma supplies. If you’re heading away for a few days, admitted to hospital or just want to keep the supplies tidy at home, the range of internal pockets keep everything organised.

Alex our Founder had bowel surgery in 2018 and required a temporary ileostomy for six months, so we know first-hand about packing those spare bags, wipes, sprays like a pro.

Essentials Pouch

Our Eco Essentials Pouch is slim enough to carry in one hand but still roomy enough to pack all those on-the-go items you can’t leave home without.

The outer dimensions are (H x L x W): 12 x 20 x 3cm

Our top tip for cleaning the outer vegan leather is to give it a good wipe with a non-abrasive, antibacterial & biodegradable wipe.

Just make sure it doesn't include any kind of bleaching agent.

If you prefer to use a natural cleaning agent, opt for apple cider vinegar, combined with water.

our customers use the Eco Essentials Pouches for multiple different requirements and uses. To give you some idea from customer feedback on how they use our Eco Essentials Pouch:

The most common feedback shared. It is a place of safekeeping for all those small items that normally get lost at the bottom of your bag or backpack.

If you’re forever switching between different bags, there’s a good chance you’ve got loads of small items and valuables stashed inside the inner pockets. Keep them all in our Eco Essentials Pouch and it’s hassle free when switching between bags.

To keep valuable tech accessories safe on the commute or to keep wires and cables untangled.

To carry those essential cosmetics and make-up that you need to for a quick touch-up when out and about.

A home and place of safekeeping for medication or other medical equipment that you might need to carry.

The more you use the Eco Essentials Pouch, the easier you’ll find the zip glides. We opted to use a waterproof zipper, and this might feel a little different to a zipper on a regular garment or piece of clothing.

We know from customer feedback that customers store valuable items inside our Eco Essentials Pouch. If there’s ever a spillage inside the bag or backpack that you carry your Eco Essentials Pouch, the waterproof zip ensures your small valuables are safe and dry.

Yes you can! Assuming the average size of an EpiPen is around 5.5 to 6 inches, you'll have no problem storing this inside our Eco Essentials Pouch.

No it’s a little too slim for Apple’s chunky MacBook chargers.

Like our wash bag, we’ve had amazing feedback from the Ostomy community who trust our Eco Essentials for those emergency supplies you carry when you leave home.

If you’re heading out for a few hours and still want to keep those emergency supplies nearby, our Eco Essentials Pouch is ideal for this requirement.

Laptop Sleeve

Our Eco-Conscious Laptop Sleeve has an ultra slim design so it's easy to pack and carry but still packed with that essential padding and protection.

The dimensions of the laptop sleeve are (H x L x W): 25.5 x 35 x 2cm

Our top tip for cleaning the outer vegan leather is to give it a good wipe with a non-abrasive, antibacterial & biodegradable wipe.

Just make sure it doesn't include any kind of bleaching agent.

If you prefer to use a natural cleaning agent, opt for apple cider vinegar, combined with water.

It really is and it's a 100% natural material. You probably don't know it but you might have sat on furniture stuff with coconut fibres or even slept on a bed with a layer of coconut fibres.

This amazing material is the ideal natural alternative to plastic to protection your laptop or MacBook from bumps.

If you want to learn more, we explain more about our Coconut Padded Laptop Sleeve in this blog post.

Yes

The inner card holder is designed to store a standard size credit card or business card - measuring 85 x 55mm
