After the production of your bag you have the choice to designate whether you would like the excess materials returned to you with the finished product or to honor it by recycling. If you honor by recycling please keep in mind that all parts of the material will be recycled and if you would like to keep any name tapes, patches, buttons etc. please remove them before sending in your material prep kit.   You will have the option of having excess materials returned to you. This will be documented on the order form completed on your design survey.
