About this item
NB: This is being sold at a discount as I was trying a new shape out for a bag and it ended up a little narrower than I'd like. It also features a secondhand zip. As it's a prototype I'm unable to give a discount % as it was never sold full price. This zippered bag is handmade by me from punctured bicycle inner tubes. It's got a large handle on one end. It's great for things that might be a bit messy like tools, paint tubes, markers or lotions. Being made from old bike tubes, it isn't suitable for use with food or things like unprotected toothbrushes. Each one is unique, featuring different wear and character from its previous life inside a bike tyre. I don't consider these marks, writing, wear, texture, etc faults - they make every piece one of a kind! The tubes are sourced from local bike shops. They'd normally end up in landfill as most people wouldn't pay a mechanic's time to do a puncture repair - instead a new one's fitted and the old one discarded. These have been saved from that fate, helping the bike shops reduce its waste and keeping useful materials out of landfill. It'll be sent with one of my business cards and a slip with information about my business and looking after your bag. I ship everything in plastic-free packaging. It'll be sent flat to save you money on postage. While all inner tubes are washed thoroughly before being remade into new products, they may still mark light surfaces.
