They make and sell handbags and purses made of recycled liners from trucks.

There are some nice apartments that are made from these shipping containers. It's hard to believe that its cheaper to build new ones than ship the old ones back.

The bags are made from tarps used on trucks. Some of the bindings are recycled tyre tubes, handles and straps are seat belts and some of the inner linings are made of air-bags. Great stuff. And very individual.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, do you have any shots of the inside of the store?
