Announcement
Bamboo Chutes' upcycled handmade items are fashioned from recycled paragliders and parachutes. My goal is to reduce the addition of material to landfills. All my wallets,bags, purses and accessories are made from the incredibly strong ripstop nylon fabric and cords of used paragliders and parachutes. These giant sails or wings that allow pilots to float in the clouds on thermal winds have a lifespan that renders them useless when they can no longer pass their safety inspections. But the gorgeously colored and incredibly durable fabric gets a second life as unique "green" fashion accessories. No two items that I remake are ever identical. I never know what I will get to work with. Each wing has its own story. Own a piece of the paragliding experience.
Thanks so much for visiting my shop.

5 out of 5 starsMy second time buying a wallet from this seller and I'm still very happy. But be careful if your dog gets it because mine chewed the edges of my first one.

5 out of 5 starsThis slim wallet was a gift to a friend who likes to play slots and who struggles with storing cards, tickets and cash while roaming the casino floor. Well over 15 years ago, I bought myself a 'chute wallet and it is like new still today. Just wash it in dish soap from time to time

I have always sewn and painted- embroidery, applique and quilting. I love fibers and fabrics- the colors and textures. I love the fact that fabric allows you to keep adding ideas. And using recycled fabric makes me feel good about it all.
