F is for Fire hose




Ah firemen. Everyday heroes running into burning buildings to rescue us mere mortals, collecting our cats from trees they shouldn't be in and always willing to demonstrate the dangers of the chip pan at a village fete.


And of course there are their hoses, those big, strong hoses. After working hard for years, saving all those lives, it seems a shame to toss them away like common trash! No! We must stand up for the hose, like the hose stood up for us.


Belts, wallets, handbags, candle holders, place mats, have been created by E&KO from the UK's finest fire hoses. Possibly one of the most durable, and honourable, materials you'll come across.

F is for Flip Flop




That's right: flip flops! This fabulous menagerie is created from a regular supply of flip flops which wash up on the African shoreline. The company which makes them, UniquEco, started in Nairobi, Kenya, and has collected more than 150,000 from around the world. Along with these delightful creatures, they make jewelry, handbags and lifesized sculptures of whales!


Available in the UK from The Recycle Warehouse.
