Bag Born: 2009
The Bag is made of Envirotech Recycled Tire Rubber Clutch with Re-Used Lion Head Drawer Pull. The designer went on the hunt for a recycled rubber product and finally found it on the internet. Andres produces all of the bags himself and says that this recycled rubber is difficult to work with so there is a lot of hand finishing on each bag. We love his design philosophy of ‘less is more’. How appropriate for the winner of the Best Green Bag Award.
