Articles In Common is a NextGen outdoor gear marketplace at the intersection of outdoor sport and climate action. Send your gear on a new adventure through our Granola Gear marketplace where all gear gets worn again or repurposed into something completely new. All gear, all for the planet.
We've also recently launched a new "ReMade" collection to our site of goods and apparel that are made using upcycled materials. We are looking to grow this category and looking for other women owned upcyclers to add to our shop! So if you know anyone, please either send them our info or have them reach out directly.
