Fashion BAGS made from upcycled building banners and used bicycle tires.
Uniqueness
Building banners from Carnaby str feature eye-catching graphics, vibrant colours, and interesting patterns. When transformed into bags, these distinctive designs create exclusive pieces that stand out from mass-produced items. Each upcycled bag has unique to it pattern, therefore carries its own story and history, making it a conversation starter.
Process
Building banners were removed from Carnaby str during winter by the team of 'EMBRACEBUIDINGWRAPS'. I collected them from wear house, brought to my garage and then hundreds meters were cut in to long pieces. All got washed and dried. Lucky weather was good. Finally, ready for production materials gone to Lithuania for bag making. Oh no i forgot month of product development took place in England and Lithuania. See more on UppyBags INSTAGRAM.
Sustainability
Upcycling building banners from Carnaby str into fashion reduces waste and promotes sustainable practices. Instead of ending up in landfills, the banners are repurposed, giving them a new lease on life and reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
Ethics of production
Hand washed, hand-cut and made in Europe where seamstress fairly paid for their job. We embrace low miles production
Durability
Building banners are typically made from sturdy materials like vinyl or polyester, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. When repurposed into fashion items, these materials contribute to the durability and longevity of the products. Upcycled fashion made from building banners tends to be resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that the items have a longer lifespan than their disposable counterparts.
