DESCRIPTION
This recycled inner tube wallet is our most popular product and we do thing that this is really not by accident! Any product made from bicycle inner tube is going to look like silky leather if you start to wear it regularly, but if this is a wallet, you don't have to wait more than a week and it gets the shape of your pocket.
DETAIL
It has two separated inner parts for cards and a big one for notes and other papers (like passport, etc). On the right side it has a pocket with velcro for change. The lining is from tarpaulin and second hand inner tube.
Since 2005 Balkan Tango have been preparing accessories from second hand materials. Committed to protecting nature they
decided to move towards exclusively environmentally conscious design. Following this decision they started to design
fashion accessories from any trash they found fit for bags. They started the line with second hand vinyl LP-s, then they
fell in love with used tarpaulin, which was followed by punctured bicycle inner tubes. Finally they made their line of
style from inner tubes: simple & practical with a Balkan Tango touch.
Every product of BT is 100% fair-made in Europe, cut and sewn one by one, partly in a Budapest based workshop and a small
factory in West-Hungary.
In 2009 they also opened a little shop in the heart of Budapest's center, as a co-opertation with another Hungarian
designer - Aquanauta. While BT is developing a retailer network abroad, they always find time to have local actions
connected to recycling or bikers' community.
Anyone wearing Balkan Tango's accessories help to protect nature and raises others' environmental awareness.
