I Design And Create Minimal And Innovative Accessories Out Of Upcycled Inner Tubes

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Kristy Kokkinou from Greece and I am making accessories, bow ties and jewelry out of bike, car and tractor inner tubes. Its a goal for me to upgrade old and useless materials that would end up polluting environment, into practical fashion items.

Inner tubes look like leather but they are not!

Inner tubes are a waterproof and durable material. Since used inner tubes are not biodegradable, I think that the best and most creative way to use them in order to protect the environment is to upcycle them.

They are all cut and sewn by hand and are totally environmental friendly.

The inner tubes are very carefully cleaned and sterilized. They have been washed several times in order to be very well cleaned and with no rubber smells.

It is a difficult and long lasting procedure until the final piece but it is worthwhile and makes me so happy at the same time!

my studies in graphic arts and the influence of my parents whom I used to watch as a child handcrafting so many things (sewing,painting, woodworking) contributed to develop a huge love for creation. It's like breathing childhood air!
