Description

This keychain started as a bicycle chain. After doing its job on the road, the chain would normally be replaced and discarded. Roestug collects these used chains, cleans them thoroughly and reshapes them into compact keychains.

The metal links keep their mechanical look. You can still recognise what it once was, just in a smaller format. It’s solid, a bit industrial and built to handle daily use in your pocket or bag.

Nothing decorative added. Just a former bike chain, cleaned and given a new function. Simple and direct.

If you’d like to learn more about how Roestug works with discarded bike parts and keeps materials in circulation, you can explore their full story via the maker page.

Who is this for

• For cyclists who like carrying a small reminder of the road with them
• For people who appreciate raw, industrial details in everyday objects

Out of the ordinary

Because each keychain is made from a different used chain, slight variations in metal tone or link structure can occur. The format stays the same, the character differs.
