Handmade in Budapest, Hungary, this coin purse brings a whole new life to bike inner tubes that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Each purse has had a previous life and tells a different story. It may have seen smiles and sunny cruising, tears and broken bones, or laughs and exhilarating treks. It could have travelled across the world, commuted in a bustling city, or taught a child how to ride in a quiet street. Now it’s gone from cycling to upcycled, what new adventures will the coin purse be a part of in your pocket?
Each purse is unique, as the inner tubes they are made from vary in size, thickness and pattern. On the purse will be a puncture repair patch from the previous life of the inner tube, and some purses may also feature the original text and stamp from when the inner tube was manufactured. Every purse is proudly finished with a carefully stitched Felvarrom logo.
The metal zip puller is made from an upcycled inner tube valve attached to a string loop, meaning that you can also hang the purse up. All the parts of the inner tube coin purse have been carefully and meticulously cleaned prior to being stitched together, so you can rest assured that the purse won’t stain anything. Being made from rubber, the purse is of course wipeable, so you don’t need to worry about getting it dirty. It can also be hand washed at 30°C should you need to.
Each inner tube coin purse is thoroughly checked for quality and workmanship before it leaves the Felvarrom workshop. They are highly durable and built to last, bringing countless more miles of use back to worn out inner tubes!
Please note, inner tubes are made in all sorts of patterns and sizes. Being made from recycled inner tubes, each coin purse is unique and so the appearance will differ slightly from what is seen in the picture. Every purse features a puncture repair patch, but the placement and appearance of the patch will differ from purse to purse. Some purses may feature text from the manufacturer of the inner tube, others may not. The placement, size and content of any text will differ on each purse. Needless to say, coins are not included!
