Description

You know those times you need to pack shoes in your luggage, but you don’t want to get everything full of shoe-grime? Yep, you need a shoe travel bag, to keep the shoe-stink inside, and the clean-stuff outside! A practical and stylish way to travel, as well as a creative way to keep non-recyclable billboards out of the landfill – this is the one luggage accessory you didn’t know you needed! Until now… don’t say we didn’t tell you!

It is waterproof with a zipper, and can be hand or machine washed (unzip the bag while washing). It is UV stable, and hence there are a myriad other uses for the bag, too… from a beach bag, to a tablet bag, your imagination is the limit! Being made from billboard, it is extremely strong and is made to last. Practical, durable and versatile, that’s the name of the reusable game!

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!
