A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

[Looks at the price...] Yeah, for 300 dollars you could get something custom made with double stitching . I've spent less on a hyper specialized mountaineering Osprey pack.
I came here to recommend Osprey as an alternative haha. Their bags all have that guarantee. They'll fix or replace your bag no matter what.
Didnt osprey recently get bought by a private equity firm?
Are they still honouring their lifetime support?
Jupp, got an osprey as well.
Where would one go to get a custom made backpack with double stitching?
