The Story of Juicybe Bags: Get 'em now at Next Adventure

| |

Ten years ago the women of B. Luz in the Philippines decided to clean up their neighborhood. They formed a Cooperative and began collecting, segregating and recycling their community's refuse to make JUICYBE bags. With recycled juice containers (mainly from school lunch programs) the women have designed durable, unique hand bags that benefit their whole community by empowering women, raising environmental awareness and providing financial support for other women owned businesses in the area. When Next Adventure learned of this project and got the opportunity to sell their bags in our store, we were all over it! Get a JUICYBE bag: touch lives across the planet, support creative solutions for sustainable living, and help reduce the mountain of plastic bags piling up in our local landfills when you BYOB (bring your own bag). $12.99-$19.99

Next Adventure: A video tutorial

"Next Adventure Commercial Out-takes": Things can get a little rowdy sometimes here at Next Adventure. Deek and Bryan try to keep it in check but monkey see monkey do, right? And the employees aren't the only ones monkey'n around. "Flippin' Great": We're never at a loss for creative uses of product or people to test them out. A box of water bottles doubles as a landing platform (as a last resort)...who knew? "Kermit Lives": Merchandising can be a little tricky but when we've got spare time on our hands, we go the extra mile to do the little things that really make the products "pop".
"Speed Hike": Out there in the field, our employees do their best to challenge themselves, pushing the limits of adventure- break'n the mold! "Bargain Basement Boxing": we fight to give you deals that are hard to beat and we've got a great shop that will send you home with the gear you need and a smile on your face. "Oh Yea!": Whatever you fancy; be it kayaking, sking, hiking...come in, check us out, and let us help you get that "Oh Yea" kinda feeling.
