How do I look after my upcycled tube wallet?

Your innertube product will start it's new working life a little stiff and perhaps a little dull looking (like most people starting a new job). Over time it will soften up and shine (like most people...."enough of this" editor..) as the rubber takes on oils and naturally hydrates. From time to time the thread from the internal materials and the card used in some products in the stitching process, will appear through the stitched rubber. This is a naturally process as the rubber moulds to it's shape to its new found home and will eventually stop. Just trim off with scissors if this occurs.

How do we collect our saris

We live in India and I am an Indian lady and like most of my fellow Indians we have one very large family. From collections through our family we pick up many of our saris whilst through our friends in Kerala and throughout Uttarakhand and in Delhi we have a large network of friends and supporters who save their saris for us. Most Indian ladies have an enormous sari collection and we are loathe to give them away so when we do we hand down some of our favourites which are in good condition while the ones that have not stayed pristine get thrown out in the waste, it it these saris that we collect and in most cases we pick up for free, whilst is some cases we give an donation or an upcycled gift in return.

All our sari products have been given a second life, from a much loved sari to what you see here in our shop; on rare occasions the previous incarnation can show in the form of a patch, perhaps a slight fade or minor blemish which themselves tell a story and add to the unique character of each and every upcycled product in our shop.

All saris are collected locally here in India by ourselves they are then thoroughly washed and sorted by pattern, colour and fabric. Each and every part of the sari is used, nothing is wasted from the borders that make our purses to the small left over materials that make our much loved gift and jewellery bags.

Made from upcycled saris they reduce the environmental footprint involved with bags made from new cotton or other materials which studies suggest would have to be used 130 times to equal the carbon expenditure of a single disposable plastic bag.

Despatched from our home in India By Registered Post

Care: Machine wash in cold (30°) water.
