English Retreads

English Retreads continues to make a reality of ?On the Road Again? by designing and producing stylie handbags and accessories from reclaimed truck inner tubes. The handles and straps on the bags are made from seat belts, and the interior lining is 100% PET fabric that is made from recycled plastic bottles.

Founded on socially and environmentally conscious ideals, English Retreads believes in using only cruelty-free and vegan materials in conjunction with crafty ingenuity. English Retreads founder, Heather English, says her design philosophy is to create classic, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted accessories that make a high-impact fashion statement and a low impact on the environment.

By turning recycling into a bold fashion statement, English Retreads can empower consumers with an ecologically sound alternative to animal products without compromising style or durability.

"Each new design begins with the idea of striving to keep more waste out of the landfill by creating fashionable, yet sturdy items out of recycled materials," Heather says. " And by turning recycling into a bold fashion statement, we at English Retreads can empower consumers with an ecologically sound alternative to animal products without compromising style or durability." "It's a win-win situation for everyone. I love designing a unique product that I feel good about, and that people can feel good about buying."
