Questions and answers
FAQ
Are our pieces comfortable? Suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — our pieces are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, and generally suit everyone. Our recycled inner-tube jewellery has metal-free fastenings, ideal if you react to metals. Our earrings are finished with sterling silver, surgical stainless steel, or brass hooks — nickel-free and kind to even sensitive ears. Please note that our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, so they are not suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.
How do I care for my piece? Is it waterproof?
It depends on the material. Recycled inner-tube jewellery is waterproof and hard-wearing; simply wipe clean. Recycled inner-tube and army-canvas bags are water-resistant. Recycled wood and skateboard pieces — keep dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Recycled brass develops a natural patina; buff with a polishing cloth to restore shine. Resin — wipe clean and keep away from prolonged heat. Recycled bike chain — keep dry and wipe after contact with water.
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
The design will be the same as pictured, but no two pieces are ever exactly alike — that’s the beauty of handmade, upcycled materials. The threads and markings on each inner tube, the colours in every skateboard offcut, and the grain of each piece of wood are all different, making your piece genuinely one of a kind.
What is it made from?
Every Paguro piece is handcrafted from genuinely reclaimed materials — inner tubes from buses and trucks, recycled skateboards, reclaimed wood, recycled brass, and more — given a second life by skilled artisans.
