Heather English got the idea for English Retreads when she was floating down Boulder Creek on, you guessed it, an inner tube. “I needed a new handbag but I was a hardcore vegetarian. I wanted something that was fashionable and invincible—but not made from leather,” Heather explains. “I didn’t find what I was looking for, so I went to McGuckin's, [a favorite local hardware store] bought some tools and started my own personal sweatshop—with me doing the sweating.” After friends started asking for a bag just like hers, Heather knew she was on to something and English Retreads hit the road in 2001.
Truck stops in the Boulder area supply Heather with the used inner tubes—each of which probably has more than 60,000 miles on it before it gets reinvented. "Just think of all the places these tubes have been," says Heather. "Now it's your turn to add to their miles and adventures."
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your guarantee?
* All Green Things can send your bag to ER and they will repair or replace any of their bags if they become damaged due to normal wear and tear (you only pay the shipping costs).
* Cruelty free and vegan: no animal products are used in making ER bags.
* Classic designs hand-crafted from 100% reused rubber inner tubes.
* Easy to clean. Simply wipe your ER product with a damp cloth.
* Each bag is unique due to inherent markings and textures of the rubber
Do English Retreads items smell like rubber?
If you put your nose right up to the bag you'll probably smell a slight rubber smell, it's not noticeable when carrying the bag- we prefer this scent to leather.
Can I choose the inner tube markings I'd like to have on my purchase?
Due to the inherent markings of the inner tubes every English Retreads item is unique. Some inner tubes have a blue stripe, some have white print and some are all black with black patterns in the rubber. We are unable to choose which inner tubes we receive and therefore cannot take special requests for specific inner tube markings.
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.
"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."
