A partnership that pays the NSRI back on every bag
The NSRI x Bound collection is a co-branded range of three waterproof bags — a Waterproof Tote, a Grab Bag and a Waterproof Backpack — developed by Bound for the National Sea Rescue Institute, the volunteer organisation that runs sea rescue, survival swimming lessons and water safety education across South Africa.
Bound designed the collection free of charge and supplies it to the NSRI at cost, so the NSRI keeps the full margin on everything it sells through its own shop. On top of that, Bound donates 15% of every sale made through boundgear.com and its retail partners. Whichever way you buy, money goes back to Sea Rescue — and it keeps going for as long as the collection sells.

NSRI x Bound, answered
Buy on boundgear.com or from a bound stockist and 15% of the sale is donated to the NSRI, calculated monthly on units sold. Buy from the NSRI's own shop and the NSRI keeps the entire margin, because Bound supplies those bags at cost.
No. The collection was designed free of charge and is supplied to the NSRI at cost, so it keeps earning for Sea Rescue every month the bags sell. The 15% donation on bound and retail sales continues for as long as the collection is in the range.
From the NSRI x Bound collection on boundgear.com, from the NSRI's own shop, or from bound retail partners. Every route returns money to the NSRI.
Yes. All three are made from 500D PVC with high-frequency welded seams instead of stitching. The Waterproof Backpack and Grab Bag use roll-top closures for a watertight seal; the Waterproof Tote is two-way waterproof.
