This type of fabric is often seen in India and is widely used for cargo bags and storage. Puebco had never found any surplus of this material in good enough condition to repurpose or in a good combination of colors. One day, they saw very large and vibrant storage bags hauling goods through the airport in Mumbai that were in a striped pattern. It took a year a half to find a factory that would make exactly what they saw and produce this pattern of fabric by using recycled plastic. The width of the fabric is more narrow than normal cotton or synthetic material, so the size of the bags that can be made is very limited. They decided to start with a limited run of sizes so that there would be no waste during production and are easier to construct as each is made by hand. Note:  The color of the handle is assorted and cannot be chosen. Fading may occur due to direct sunlight. Due to the nature of the PVC material, the handle may soften and become sticky at high temperatures.   R

Since its founding in Japan in 2007, Puebco has operated on the premise that the most interesting materials are those that already have a life behind them.  Puebco works with salvaged and reclaimed sources — recycled military tents and clothing, decommissioned mail bags, truck upholstery, and repurposed parachutes — redesigning them into garments, bags, rugs, and home goods and bringing new life to the materials. Items are made in small batches to keep overproduction minimal and each run intentional.
