Just when I thought we’d seen eco-friendly bags made out of every possible material another one enters the mix. Believe it or not, this stylish briefcase is made from reclaimed conveyor belts.
This is part of the Kazmok Re-use collection from industrial product designer Dinand Stufkens. The range also features laptop sleeves and belts.
“The conveyor belts are given a second life as a bag, and each bag is unique due to the wears and scars of the conveyor belts,” Stufkens explained. “A bag with a previous life is a bag with a story.“
The conveyor belts used in the Kazmok Re-use accessories are sourced from the flower and recycling industries, and the European postal service. The fabrics are thick and strong, but also surprisingly stylish with colors ranging from classic black to this funky bottle green. Eco-friendly handbags can tend to look a bit gimmicky, but you’d barely know these ones are made from reclaimed fabrics.
The prices are quite reasonable, with Kazmok Re-use bags starting from €39 and ranging up to €199. They’re available online from the Kazmok website.
