When we say trash or things that are probably broken beyond repair, we throw them away. Which means a lot of waste that never sees the light of day again, but there are luckier ones that get another shot at being useful through upcycling and repurposing. Take, for example, old and used tarpaulin material that are made into bags, pouches, and more. Curious as to where you can you get your hands on it? Get one for yourself or your loved ones this season from Filipino upcyclewear brand Side B Upcycling.
SHOP: Recycled Bags from Side B Upcycling
From big bags like the Quazi (P3,200) and Flexi (P2,700) that can carry your whole house (not literally) while on trips to handy ones like the BB3 (a bike, body, or belt bag for P1,650) for carrying only the essentials, this brand's got the range. Note that prices are based on their first collection! It may change depending on the style you choose to cop.
Their carriers are made of old and used tarpaulins, done so sleek and stylishly that you may have to do a double look to make sure. As they are made with ever-sturdy tarps, they're guaranteed to be durable and water-resistant, perfect for the light rains (see also: beach trips!) we experience in a tropical country like the Philippines. They're turning trash into treasure indeed.
And the best part of it all is that they are made by Filipino craftsmen and are eco-friendly, so yes, you're also giving a present to Mother Earth when you get your hands on these. You can scroll through and order their products online.
