Cotton canvas, rPET, vegetable-tanned leather: what separates them
Three materials dominate this range, and they are not judged on the same criteria. Cotton canvas is read through its weight and the certification of its fibre; it is the only one of the three in which an agricultural crop is at stake. rPET is a polyester made from collected bottles: what counts then is not the word but the share of recycled material and the standard that attests to it. Vegetable-tanned leather describes a tanning process, not an origin in livestock farming nor a guarantee on water treatment. A fourth term circulates on the market, “ocean bound plastic”: it describes a place of collection, within a set distance of a coastline, and not a certified recycled content. Funding a collection is not incorporating the material.

GRS and RCS are changing name, and it is not just a label
Textile Exchange, the body behind GRS and RCS, is merging its material standards into a single one. The acronyms that appear today on the product pages of this range will therefore be replaced, with a period during which the two systems coexist. For a buyer, the practical consequence is simple: a certificate in force remains valid until its term, and it is its expiry date, not its acronym, that decides whether it still covers the order. It is also the moment when internal documents age without warning: a purchasing charter requiring “GRS or RCS” will become impossible to satisfy to the letter. We follow the calendar, and the product pages concerned will be rewritten as it takes effect.

A company certification does not certify the bag
Some brands in this range hold a certification that assesses the company: its governance, its social practices, its environmental management. B Corp is the best-known example. That is real information, and it is not proof about the product being bought. A well-rated company can sell a bag whose material carries no standard at all, and a company without a company certification can sell a bag in which every component is certified. The substitution almost always runs the same way: the company certificate enters the conversation at the exact point where product proof is missing. On this site, the two are never presented together as though they answered the same question.
