This repurposed rubber pouch is a great size for keeping important essentials organised and has the added advantage of being shower resistant too. It's lined with traditional African wax print cloth known as Chitenge, and has a useful pouch pocket and zip pocket inside. Makes a great eco gift for cycle (and upcycle!) enthusiasts everywhere. 19cm x 12cm.
Why we love it
Measures approximately 19cm long x 12cm high.
Upcycled from used bicycle inner tubes saved from UK landfill. Please note that due to the upcycled nature of this product, there will be blemishes and variations - you may even be lucky enough to get some manufacturer's text or an old puncture repair patch! 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.
Cycle of Good collect waste inner tubes from cycle shops and cycling clubs throughout the UK and ships 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.

I bought my friend’s secret Santa gift from here and everything was perfect - the package was ordered and arrived within the stated time, the packaging was eco friendly and the products were just fantastic. I love that this company is doing something ethical, quietly and without a fuss but that it does it to the absolute best of its ability and exactly what you’d expect. Plus from looking at the website it’s a team of dedicated and fabulous women (and Lola the dog!) who are committed to what they do.
I’d definitely recommend and will be ordering again!
Item exactly as described and delivered well packed and on time as promised, thank you :)
Keep coming back, maybe not very often, to look for presents or useful stuff around the house. Always smooth and swift service; well wrapped packages usually pretty quick delivery too.
