Lorry Bags
the journey

Our Lorry Bags (Truck Cover Bags) are made mostly from upcycled materials and recycled components. We give discarded truck tarpaulins and seat belts a second life by turning them into robust and beautifully designed bags and accessories.

Beginning of Life

A truck tarpaulin (common in Europe) begins it life on a truck! After a lot of miles (kilometers) when it is scuffed or torn then it is thrown away and replaced. But where would it normally go? They are not easily recyclable or biodegradable and if they end up in landfill this is a problem. So we offer them a new home and give them a new lease of life.

Sourcing

Truck tarpaulins can be suprisingly difficult to find but when we do then we bring them home and sort them according to colour. The most common colour seems to be blue so we are always on the look out for more exotic shades.

Inspection and pre-prep

When they arrive with us we remove all of the metal pulleys and rollers and remove the reinforcing strips on the back. During this process we are watching for defects, tears and other damage. Then they are washed and cleaned and dried and folded away.

Design and Manufacture

They are then hand cut and sewn into an amazing range of products. Every one unique, with its own story.
