THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED!! THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED.
To celebrate the re-launch of greengrechen.com and because we love you (awww…) we’re giving away a leather/recycled inner tube clutch (each valued at $220) by Passchal to two lucky winners! Details on how to enter are below.
The giveaways: Each clutch is made from recycled inner tubes and leather that is vegetable tanned and chrome free.
About the company:
They’ve recycled approximately 20 tons of inner tubes since they started. No, that’s not the only thing they’ve done, but we think it’s the coolest. Tires, and presumably inner tubes, are discarded EVERYWHERE; 20 tons fewer in landfills, along the beach, or on the side of the road is an awesome achievement. And the fact that they are creative enough to take those inner tubes and convert them into high-end luxury accessories (yes, the inner tubes undergo a rigorous but environmentally friendly, multi-day cleaning process) without any formal training – just a commitment to recycling and the environmental movement – is pretty great too. In addition to using recycled inner tubes, Passchal incorporates leather trim and sides to their rubber bags, but following their eco-friendly beliefs, all leathers used are by-products, vegetable dyed and chrome free, and all bags are handcrafted using the highest quality hardware and materials available.
