We're excited to bring to you our new range - 'Chillibean Upcyclist'. Saving the planet - one inner tube at a time!
We love, love, love making these bags! ... though we're not always able to have every style in stock at any one time so please enquire if you'd like a particular style. Otherwise keep checking back as we make more stock in various styles week by week! Please note: The Upcyclist bags are not included in the 20% off sale for garments.
Bags and purses crafted from old recycled inner tubes from bikes, motorcycles and trucks; paired with salvageable remnants of old torn bags destined for the tip. The vegans' alternative to leather, these bags save a great deal of inner tubes from clogging up landfills.
Each bag features its own unique inner tube branding - no two bags are the same!
Important details to note about inner tubes
* Rubber is durable, water resistant- and it gets hot if left in direct sun for prolonged periods! Please take this into
consideration.
* Because of the rounded shape of inner tubes, obtaining definite straight seams around the entirity of a bag is often-times
impossible. If you hope to have an inner tube bag which lines up neatly on every seam as with a fabric bag, you may be
disappointed.
* If you should happen to stab a hole in your bag - no problem! Just patch up with a bike tyre repair kit. It will add even more
character to your bag. Alternatively you could send the bag back to me and I will make repairs (a fee would apply).
* You can quite justifiably bathe in the glorious knowledge that you have saved a quantity of inner tubes from landfill! :-)
Please also note: The sewing machines and equipment we use for the inner tube products are entirely separate from those used for our babies/childrens' garments.
