From Bike Tire to Wicked Attire- vegan accessories made from repurposed bike tires & tubes

Inner Secret is my creation, a labour of love that arose out of my passions for cycling, veganism making good use of the things that I find. Years of cycling and the accumulation of old bike parts, tires and inner tubes lead to the re-purposing of 'waste' products into beautiful objects.

Low impact, carbon free and ecological living is built into the philosophy underpinning my work; it stems from a desire to create new from old, to find joy in waste, and to find a use for everything.
Cycling is a passion, and keeping bikes on the road for as long as possible is an obsession. But there comes a point where tires get worn out, inner tubes get one too many punctures, and cogs gears and chains have seen too many miles to be of any use on a bike. Once these things are no longer fit for the road they would usually get thrown out and end up as landfill. This seemed to me a tragic waste of such wonderful materials. Rubber tires and inner tubes, even after hundreds of miles on the road, are still beautiful objects in their own right. With this in mind, and with an inquisitive spirit that’s always tinkering with anything to hand, these tubes, tires and cogs have been turned into the items displayed in my shop.

Fed up with having the choice of either having to compromise on quality or ethics, I decided that the best route was to make things myself. And, given the plethora of materials that are thrown away by our destructive late capitalist consumer society; tough, hard wearing, comfortable materials are to be found everywhere one looks.
