Reclaim bags is a brand that was born in 2011 by British based designer, Sophie Postma whilst studying Fashion and Innovation at Leeds college of Art. The brand uses recycled rubber inner tubes as the main material to create each individual, handmade piece. The concept behind the brand is to produce a sustainable range of handbags and accessories that will change people’s perceptions of recycled products and test the limits of re-use.
By emerging ourselves within the fashion industry and through the use of innovative and contemporary design, Reclaim bags primarily wants to reduce the stigma surrounding recycled products, with emphasis being that something beautiful can be produced out of something that would have otherwise been waste.
Reclaim bags are available to buy on our website, www.reclaimbags.co.uk
