Review

Reference. Recap. Reason.... Reefer

We don't make sails, jackets or joints, but we like to think we have a great idea. Recycling old sails is a concept we have been thinking about for nearly a decade and in late 2008 we finally found ourselves with the time and space to develop our ideas fully.

We live in rural Devon, with a house constantly full of children, friends, pets and mud. With that in mind we have designed every one of our products not only to withstand the rough and tumble of family life but also with attention to clever design and an elegant colour palette. We want our products to be practical to live with and fabulous to look at too.

Mark has sailed and flown since a child and both of us have sewn since our teens when Emma made clothes and Mark made hang gliding equipment. After struggling to source genuinely recycled sail products for our home and garden we decided to design and make our own. Reefer was born!

We both believe passionately in sustainable living and reducing waste. Ideals which Mark has used as excuses to horde discarded and obsolete kit for over 20 years. It nearly broke his heart to chop up his British Championship qualifying 1988 hang glider for prototyping some of our range. Now our children loaf around in front of the Playstation on a beanbag made from the sail and Mark longs for time to lie in his hammock.

Whether you sail, fly or simply lounge we hope you have time to enjoy a Reefer product. Thanks for your interest.
