My collection is made primarily using repurposed, upcycled inner tubes from bicycle tyres. When developing my collection I was very conscious of sustainability as a key idea. I also wanted to use a material that wasn’t an obvious choice, and would normally be disposed of. After experimenting, I found the material easy to work with, using the natural shape of the inner tube to define the shapes within my collection. The tubes, when weaved together create a strong and long lasting material. I made conscious decisions to use sustainably sourced leather to add an element of luxury, and a bright visible colour to reference the visibility cyclists rely on.
