From Tractors to Runway Passchal Recycled Handbags

Passchal is the first-ever eco-luxury accessory line created from recycled tractor tire inner tubes, and it is fabulous. Created by Angela Greene and Ken Kobrick, an innovator (who doesn’t carry a purse at all) and ex-welder, the operation started in a 900 sq ft home in Virginia and has gained a lot of traction since its 2004 launch.

Passchal collects inner tubes from VA, Ohio and GA tractors, which then undergo a rigorous but environmentally friendly, multi-day cleaning process before being crafted into bags. To date, Passchal has recycled approximately 20 tons of inner tubes creating their line of bags.
