Colourcycle is a small design company started in 2015 which focusses on taking recycled leather offcuts and making them into wearable fashion items.

​

Our leather comes from tanneries' waste containers, or has been given to us by individuals or companies that have purchased a surplus. We then recycle it to make our unique selection of round handbags, totes and pouches. Each bag is conceived, cut & sewn by Charlotte, in her home studio in Biarritz, France.

​

The offcuts are paired with natural linen/jute or recycled fabrics, often in opposing two-tones, because of their small surface area.

Differing thicknesses, odd colours and small pieces create more work for us but also interesting combinations, textures and 'collections' for your enjoyment...
