We’re excited to share our third Smiley Future Positive® collaboration in partnership with Eastpak. The Ying Yang collection focuses on optimism, breaking barriers, and creating a positive future, whilst seamlessly blending our iconic smiley with the yin and yang symbol. As part of the Smiley Future Positive Program, Eastpak and Smiley have curated an impactful range that employs recycled post-consumer plastic waste through the RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) manufacturing process, utilising plastic which may have otherwise been destined for landfill. This collaboration epitomises a positive and fun-loving outlook, serving as a constant reminder to embrace the brighter side of life and cherish the small moments that bring a smile.

Did you know? Smiley Company is Eastpak’s longest running partner. Since 2019, we’ve partnered with a shared passion for spreading positivity, breaking barriers and sparking change. Our previous two collections with Eastpak were very popular. I’m excited to renew & reimagine the storytelling for a third collection, this time as part of our Future Positive program. We’re spreading joy with a collection of bags and accessories starring our international symbol of happiness. The collection features 10 reimagined Eastpak designs, with the iconic Smiley incorporated into an iconic symbol, the yin and yang 🙂 ☯️ The best bit? ♻️ Eastpak is joining us on the Future Positive journey. The entire latest Smiley x Eastpak range is made from RPET. RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) is made from recycled post-consumer plastic waste. It’s more sustainable compared to virgin plastic, ensuring a much lower carbon footprint and less energy waste compared to manufacturing with virgin plastic. Using RPET reduces the amount of plastic waste destined for landfill. Thank you to our friends at Eastpak (Pete Winkworth, Carolyne Sysmans, Shannon Honer, Nao Nishikawa, Florence Blanckaert & more) for continuing this partnership with us. We’re excited to have another Future Positive collection in the world. And the unstoppable Smiley lifestyle team has done it again. Well done Janet Martin, Darren Green, Holly Worley & Amy Sheridan on launching another creative, sophisticated collection with an inspiring partner.
