Sealand Gear’s Peak SS22 Bluegum Collection

WORDS Cheri Morris


Local sustainable brand Sealand Gear‘s Peak SS22 Bluegum Collection is inspired by the multi-tonal mottled bark of the alien blue gum, the trans-seasonal evergreen yellowwood and the elegant, elusive silver tree.

Sealand prides itself on valuing the discarded. To them, waste is a way to celebrate and tell stories that matter. The release of this Peak Line collection is the pinnacle of Sealand’s experimentation with limited materials and innovative new techniques. SS22 Bluegum is one of the broadest seasonal ranges Sealand has done to date. It features three new colourways across 19 styles; including several new pieces, especially in the cycling gear category.

Yellowwood boasts a silver canvas; an aluminium-infused polyester that arrives for production as narrow offcuts and functions as a great insulator. An expression of Sealand’s commitment to supporting local industry wherever possible, Silvertree’s unique purple-grey canvas is a partly-recycled polyester milled in Gauteng. Bluegum’s grey canvas is actually the reverse of the silver seen in the Yellowwood range – an application that sees some of the bags’ interiors emit a reflective shine.

“Across the range we also made use of spinnakers of various colours, using it to create piped details and small pops of colour. We wouldn’t be able to do little details like this if it wasn’t for the handmade nature of our bags. Handmade means love and attention and ownership of the final product,” notes the Head Designer.
