Bristol-based streetwear brand Rerun is proving its eco credentials are more than hot air by crafting messenger bags fashioned from balloon fabric offcuts.
Rerun’s home city is known as the European birthplace of modern hot air ballooning and plays host to the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta. Now the historic relationship has given rise to a unique homage, using recycled textiles from the world’s biggest balloon manufacturer.
“Our bag is designed with cycling in mind, and Bristol’s well known as a cycling-friendly city,” explained Rerun co-founder Toby Thorpe. “We’re hoping it’s going to fly!”
