Upcycle Waterproof Blanket Storage Bag from Reclaimed Billboard Canvas
R150.00
The perfect summer storage solution to keep your winter blankets dust-free and free of moths (without resorting to chemically laden moth balls!) These bags are made from waste billboard canvas, that would otherwise have gone to landfill after the advertisements end. Instead, they make for funky prints on these bags, that when filled with a thick fluffy blanket, could double as a seating cushion or poof. It is strong and durable, and can also be used to store a variety of other items (such as out-of-season clothes, electronics, toys and more!)
Note the colours are random – please fill in the order notes if you want a specific colour / style and we’ll try to match it, otherwise we’ll surprise you!
Description
The perfect summer storage solution to keep your winter blankets dust-free and free of moths (without resorting to chemically laden moth balls!) These bags are made from waste billboard canvas, that would otherwise have gone to landfill after the advertisements end. Instead, they make for funky prints on these bags, that when filled with a thick fluffy blanket, could double as a cushion or seating poof.
Also great as storage for a variety of odds and ends, from out-of-season cloths to free up space in the cupboard, to rarely used electronics, to toys and more! Being made from billboard, it is extremely strong and is made to last. It is waterproof with a zipper, and can be hand or machine washed (unzip the bag while washing). Practical, stylish, durable and versatile… what more could you want?
Note the colours and motives are completely random, being made from waste there is little standardisation of colours and each item is unique. Please specify in the order notes if you want a specific look, and we’ll try to match it if it’s available, but no guarantees. Otherwise, we’ll find something special for you based on what is available.

Material Notes | Billboard fabric uses various types of plastic, melded with synthetic and natural fibres in a way that is very durable and takes ages to decompose – current estimates say it takes 20 years before it even starts to degrade! There is also currently no way to recycle billboard fabric, so the creative Upcycle team is finding brilliant applications to keep waste billboards out of the landfill! |
