Issi Works for Artists to Create Recycled Fire Hose Handbags

32 sec read

Eco-fashion label Issi teams up with prominent artists to create stylish fashion accessories from fabrics destined for landfill. The brand’s latest line sees Issi team up with artists including Lothar Gotz, Paul Morrison, and Olivier Millagou for accessories made from decommissioned British fire hoses.

The durable fire hose material is the star here, but it’s complemented by reclaimed leather, decommissioned parachute silk, and tea sacks. The eco-friendly ethos continues inside too, as each bag is lined with reclaimed fabric.

Issi gives a percentage of its profits from every bag collection to relevant charities. For the latest line the fashion label will donated 50% of its profits to The Fire Fighters’ Charity. The organization helps retired and serving fire fighters suffering physical, psychological, and emotional trauma.

Each piece is a limited edition, so if something’s caught your eye I suggest snapping it up quickly. They’re all available online through the Issi website.
