Bekos Upcycling - Ladies Purse from Recycled Bags Patchwork Elephant

Upcycling - turning old into new

This cool purse for women, made from recycled bags, protects your most important belongings. The purse is easy to open and close with a press stud. Its generous division offers a lot of space for everything you don't want to do without. It has two slots for cards, two viewing windows for photos, four separate compartments for banknotes, and a zipped compartment for coins.

The material made from recycled bags is very hard-wearing, waterproof, and durable. The printed colors of the bags will show wear over time, depending on use. These are normal signs of use and are not a reason for defect. Each product is handmade and therefore unique. The look and texture of the material may vary slightly. It is not possible to choose a design for this wallet; it will be delivered according to availability.

The term 'patchwork' comes from English and literally means patchwork. In this accessory, very different scraps from other bags (cement, fish food, feed, and rice bags) have been sewn together to create a colorful pattern.

Help to reduce waste and at the same time do something good not only for nature but also for disadvantaged society in Cambodia.

All our products made of cement bags, rice/fish food bags, and vehicle tires are produced under the FairTrade seal in strict compliance with the 10 Commandments. This project is certified by the World Fair Trade Organisation and awarded by UNESCO. All accessories are designed by the villagers themselves and lovingly handmade; each one is unique. The material cut-outs can vary in design because the bags are completely processed. The material with the fish motif was even first a fish food sack and in its second life a rice sack before it was processed into these noble accessories. You can find out more about the origin and manufacture of these products on the "About us" page.
