Everyone wishes to look classy, and own fashionable accessories. To look stylish and buy products to fit the kind of lifestyle requires a ransom. In todays world of increasing consciousness towards ecological living, one has to choose products that are both trendy and also environmentally friendly. Many textiles; though inherently beautiful are still sent to the landfill. Modish handbags made from recycled fire hoses are now an emerging trend in the market.

Quality handbags and belts are made from decommissioned fire hoses which are used in that field for more than 30 years. Recycled hose is both fire and water resistant. Dirt and grime are removed, and the hoses undergo green process where it transforms the 'once' fire hoses into classic handbags.
