The Repurposed Porpoise

These porpoises are handmade from reporpoised materials! The exterior fabric is reused from secondhand pillow cases, pants, dresses, and other dead stock or recycled textiles. The interior is stuffed with approximately 95% fabric remnants (from making other plush friends!) and a little recycled polyester fiber-fill for the fins and flippers.

My idea for these unique little porpoises came from a desire to make plush toys that are not only friendly, but also environmentally-friendly. Additionally, a portion of porpoise proceeds is donated to Mission Blue, a non-profit organization striving to make the world a better place, for both us humans and our animal friends.

Using upcycled fabric means I can only make a few porpoises with that textile at most—usually, Repurposed Porpoises are completely one of a kind. Because of their unique nature, each porpoise gets their own name. Visit the shop to see the current pod of Repurposed Porpoises!
