Description

The UpCycle Tire Belt takes worn bicycle tires and gives them a second round. At 4 cm wide, it has a slightly stronger presence than the Classic version, with a polished buckle that keeps the look sharp.

Each belt is handmade in Vuigmakers’ workshop in Gouda. The rubber keeps its original texture, which means subtle tread marks or small variations can remain visible. The material already proved its strength on the road. Now it’s part of your everyday outfit.

All belts are delivered extra long and can be adjusted to your exact size. You can cut it yourself using the step-by-step instructions, or have it custom-sized before shipping. It’s designed to fit everyone.

The belt is vegan and made entirely from reclaimed materials. Practical, strong and ready for daily use.

Who is this for

Out of the ordinary

Because each belt is cut from a different section of bicycle tire, surface texture and small details vary slightly per piece. The format stays consistent, the rubber pattern differs.
