This book traces the journey of Hamilton Perkins Collection from a single recycled bag to a full-scale archive of circular design in motion.

What began with billboard vinyl and plastic water bottles became a collection — first launched on Kickstarter, where we hit our $10,000 goal in six days and closed at over $25,000 in preorders.

Since then, Hamilton Perkins Collection has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, The Washington Post, and WWD, while collaborating with over 20 Fortune 500 clients.

But we weren’t satisfied with the existing limits of upcycling.

So we built our own.

We brought in polymer scientists and circular experts to develop a proprietary technology that transforms hard-to-recycle waste streams into high-value, sustainable textiles.

The result is not just a brand, but a system — backed by Pharrell Williams, HPE Foundation, Techstars, Better Ventures, Google for Startups, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, Draper Family Foundation, and more.

This is the printed archive of that journey: product, prototypes, material studies, and commentary from inside the process.

*Limited print run. Orders ship in July 2025.

 


Loved by everyday movers.

Such a great find!! I came across Hamilton Perkins while looking for a new everyday bag and ended up learning so much about the materials behind the products. The team was super welcoming and explained how the bags are made from recycled and reclaimed materials without making it feel like a sales pitch. I picked up a crossbody bag and have already used it for errands, work, and travel days. Love finding something that looks good, feels useful, and has a real story behind it.

I wasn’t planning to buy anything, but I’m so glad I stopped in. The bags immediately caught my eye, and once I heard more about the recycled materials and the process behind them, I knew I wanted to support the brand. The quality feels sturdy, the designs are easy to wear, and the whole experience felt personal. I left with a travel bag and have already gotten compliments on it.

First purchase and definitely not my last! I needed a bag that could keep up with work, weekend trips, and everyday running around, and this one has been perfect. What made the experience even better was hearing the story behind the brand and how much care goes into turning waste materials into something useful again. It feels good to carry something that has purpose without sacrificing style.
