Bicycle Inner Tube Straight Stitch Belt
This 35mm wide rubber belt is made from four layers of recycled inner tube - so is strong and durable, as well as being incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. It has feature stitching sewn in orange cotton and a chunky metal buckle which is attached with two poppers so easily removable for a change of style if preferred.
Why we love it
- Made with used bicycle inner tubes that would otherwise have gone to landfill
- Ethically hand crafted by trained tailors through a fair trade initiative in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world
- All money made by Cycle of Good funds social enterprise, early years childcare and family support in Chilomoni Township
Available in two sizes:
- 34 inches (to fit waist sizes up to 34 inches). Strap length approximately 105cm.
- 40 inches (to fit waist sizes up to 40 inches). Strap length approximately 116cm.
Due to the handmade nature of this product, sizes may vary slightly. However, extra belt holes can be easily added at home if necessary for a more tailored fit. There will also be blemishes and variations from life as an inner tube - you may even be lucky enough to get some manufacturer's text or an old puncture repair patch! Please note inner tubes are made from butyl rubber which contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that can cause irritation. Keep away from mouth and avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
Upcycled from used bicycle inner tubes saved from UK landfill. Cycle of Good collect waste inner tubes from cycle shops and cycling clubs throughout the UK and ship them in their own containers to Malawi where they are given to the tailors who carefully craft useful and beautiful items. All the upcycled inner tube products are vegan friendly and ethically hand crafted in Malawi by trained tailors through a fair trade initiative.
Cycle of Good pays above the national living wage and offers full employment rights such as paid holiday and pensions. Regular, reliable employment is essential and very hard to come by in Malawi. With no welfare state, the locals cannot work, and cannot support their families. The Cycle of Good has made lasting positive change for the communities in Chilomoni Township, Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world.
