Meet our first innovation

Sea based activities represent 50% of the ocean pollution

“WE CREATED OUR OWN MATERIAL MADE FROM MARINE LITTER”

Selected by ASVOFF to show our purpose during the Unga Week @ Museum of Modern Art, New York
mission ocean
Sea based activities represent 50% of the ocean pollution. I see this material as ready-made to give a proposition to others and influence action for the ocean. The idea is to create the demand that appreciates and cherishes marine litter products: from fishnets plastics to oyster farms’ waste and algae”
Updates, Not season
This limited edition is only available by pre-order at the moment


Our products are constructed using elements that would otherwise be considered waste, such as fishnets, seaweed, and seafood byproducts. Our goal is to reimagine the potential of these materials and create a demand for products that cherish and appreciate marine litter.
Updates, not season
With the objective to slow-down seasonal products, ER will only look to release new updates, not seasons; new collections for ER mean new innovations for the brand and environment.
