We use scientific images of the oceans to develop colourful print designs and ethically made accessories that reveal unseen patterns and share scientific discoveries.
Crùbag's mission is to share the beauty of the sea, to inspire and empower you to take positive actions, and to better understand and save our oceans.
Every piece is a conversation starter! Our products are beautifully made with love and paired with collectable ocean-literacy booklets / beautiful cards for you, sharing the science story and inspiration behind each collection.
Together we can make a difference. Crùbag will give 10% of all profits to research institutions to support their important research and work on marine conservation
Every purchase matters.
Discover the inspiration behind the Flora Collection. Algae are a large and diverse collection of organisms living almost everywhere on the planet where there is water. They range from microscopic individual organisms invisible to the naked eye, to the more familiar coastal seaweed. Like plants, algae have the ability to photosynthesise, or put simply, make energy from the sun.
This is the story behind the Gachon Collection. Algae, or seaweed, play a vital role in marine ecology, providing shelter and food for marine life, think kelp forests, and also in human life, both as a source of food and animal feed. Seaweed is currently being cultivated on a test site off the Isle of Kerrera, Scotland for a multitude of uses including food, fertiliser and cosmetics. We are yet to identify how cultivated seaweed will interact with native populations. Therefore, understanding algae – what makes them thrive and what makes them vulnerable to disease-causing pathogens and parasites – are an increasingly important area of scientific research.
