The Biker Pants Live On

 

Did you know it takes approximately 208 gallons of crude oil to raise one feedlot steer? And that's just raising the cow, not to mention the amount of energy that goes into creating the hide.

By upcycling materials, this 7cm wide by 13 cm long cuff, created from the pocket of an old pair of leather pants - (probably, given the opshop they came from, once the pride and joy of a bikie)- would be saving at least 2.6 gallons of crude oil in the raising of the cow alone....

Not to mention, the materials were purchased from the op-shop run by the Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda, Melbourne.

Who would have thought reducing your carbon footprint could look so good?

Fully adjustable via the lace up chain system at the back, this cuff is edgy yet feminine.

Made from the to of the pocket of that infamous pair of leather pants, this is a narrower cuff with antique gold findings & fittings.  The chain on the front is sewn on with copper wire.

Both available at Etsy and soon at MadeIt for Australian buyers.

New at Kreated - Pocket Rock Upcycled Leather Cuff

Artists do it, Greenies do it, now even Rock Chick's can do it... Upcycling.

Express the edgier side of your personality with this upcycled leather cuff made from the pocket of a rather large and loved pair of leather pants found at the local Sacred Heart op shop.

Perfect to go with this season's rock/military look or even when you want to give that casual t-shirt & jeans a bit of a pop, this cuff is adjustable courtesy of the chain fastening system.

The cuff can be worn plain, or with ribbon threaded through the front eyelets for a more feminine touch (see images).

The preworn nature of this leather has ensured the cuff is beautifully supple and soft.

There are obviously only two pockets in pants so there is only one of this design available (the other pocket wanted to be made into something else!)

**All upcycled materials have been cleaned before use**
