Description
- ✅ EMBRACE YOUR INDIVIDUALITY - Designed and handcrafted by a group of fine artisans in Salatiga, named Sapu. They use reclaimed rubber from tyre inner tubes, the tread of which remains intact and is clearly visible on the patterned billfold, resulting in these unique markings so each piece is as individual as its owner. The artisans aim to make use of the world's abundant and unwanted man made materials and turn them into something remarkable.
- ✅ GUILT-FREE SHOPPING - By purchasing this leather-alternative wallet, made from reclaimed truck and bicycle tyres, you're helping to save the environment by repurposing materials that would otherwise have entered landfill. If that isn't the best excuse for shopping, then we don't know what is! Do your bit: buy the purse, save the planet! It's your duty, your planet needs you.
