Ocean Legend: Honoring Captain Paul Watson

THE NETWORKINITIATIVES
Written By Parley
 

A symbol for change and a tribute to the legends who drive it

 
 

 The Stella x Parley collaboration launches with a limited edition 'Ocean Legend' Falabella Go backpack honoring Captain Paul Watson for his lifelong dedication to conservation and relentless defense of the marine ecosystem. The bag is made from Parley Ocean Plastic™, created from upcycled marine plastic debris intercepted from open sea, beaches, and coastal communities. 100% of the proceeds support Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

 
 
 
 

Stella x Parley presented 'Ocean Legend' in the lead-up to World Oceans Day and the Sea Shepherd 40th Anniversary Gala for the Oceans. Stay tuned for the product's release in July.
