Vroom Vroom, Baby
Every once in a while I like to step back from all the Balenciaga, Hermes and Asprey purses to have a look at something new, something unusual. It was during a recent foray into the Purse Unknown that I came across something rather fabulous: a website by the name of Everythingcarz.com.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Cars? Purses? What unholy alliance is this? But wait. For there ARE purses on sale on the site — purses that are made from recycled materials. And when I say recycled materials I mean <i>used inner tubes from trucks and tractors</i>.
That’s right. All those old tubes clogging up landfills and coastlines across the land, all that rubber once involved in endless miles of tarmac, taking tomatoes from one end of the country to another, keeping those truckers secure on the road — they are being rescued and made over for the greatest cause of them all — the cause of fashion.
Every single bag is hand-made with leather and nickel, in a variety of fun colours. The purse pictured here goes by the name of the Dax Bag — and the more I look at it, the more I like it.
So for all you manly men out there who think purses are for <i>girls</i>, think again — you can be a dirty, filthy, oil stained hunk of man with your big black truck and ice-cold beer while <i>still</i> having somewhere to keep your crap.
Plus you’ll be helping the environment — does it get any sexier than that?
I think not.
