Paguro Upcycle
Anna Recycled Rubber Vegan Tote Bag (2 Colours Available)
Eco-Friendly and Vegan Recycled Rubber Tote Bag
Thought all tote bags were the same? Think again. The unique texture of the inner tubes and bright detailing make the vibrant Anna Recycled Rubber Tote Bag stand out from the crowd. This spacious design has an internal zip pocket and separate compartments, with a flap-and-button closure for extra security.
The Anna tote is handcrafted from recycled rubber in an eco-friendly, cruelty-free way. Reclaimed inner tubes are a popular leather substitute thanks to their similar texture and unique markings. Complete the look with a matching Aurore purse or Caroline long zip purse.
Your bag may carry printing or wording from the original inner tubes. Many customers love this characterful detail, but if you'd prefer a plain black design, just drop us a message and we'll find the right one for you.

FAQ
Questions and Answers
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 our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, so they aren't 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 – waterproof and hard-wearing; just wipe clean.
• Recycled inner-tube & army-canvas bags – water-resistant; they'll handle everyday weather, but as the zips and seams aren't sealed we'd avoid heavy rain or submersion.
• Recycled wood & skateboard – keep dry and wipe with a soft cloth; the grain and colour vary on every piece.
• Recycled brass – develops a natural patina; buff with a polishing cloth to restore shine.
• Resin – wipe clean; keep away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight.
• Recycled bike chain – keep dry and wipe after contact with water.
Looked after well, your piece is made to last
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.
