HAUTE COUTURE!

 

And you thought floating on an inner tube down a river counted as a clever re-purposing. Richmond, Virginia-based Passchal is pitching environmentally conscious handbags using recycled truck and tractor tire inner tubes collected from tire centers. Each bag is created by hand, and bears whatever markings the inner tube manufacturer used. Bags sell at a much higher profit margin than old patched inner tubes, between $150 and $175. Visit passchal.com for more info. BWTM is eyeing the "Man Bag'' to pair with our tire tread sandals.
