Old truck tarps and tires are given a new lease of life thanks to green Canadian company Rexcana. The brand strips away the macho trucker image to create fashion forward handbags and shoes.
The body of the bags and footwear comes from the tarps, which are treated with biodegradable shampoos and soaps. This cleans up the materials while maintaining the vintage appeal of the weather-worn canvas. The fashion items are then accented with the recycled tires. The Rexcana purses are lined with all natural cotton to make them eco-friendly both inside and out.
Rexcana is based in Canada, but its handbags are made in Brazil. However, the brand works hard to ensure its business has only the best conditions for its workers, including offering English language courses to those interested in traveling abroad.
Rexcana handbags are sold exclusively through the Eco-Handbags online store.
