  • Print

You probably don’t give them much thought on a daily basis, other than remembering to buckle up, but seatbelts are designed to be strong, durable, and, well, to save your life. They are virtually indestructible: heat resistant, UV resistant, water resistant, fungus resistant and very hard to wear and tear. So what better material to repurpose into long-lasting, stylish accessories?

Interrobang collects seatbelts from junked cars at wrecking yards and from car parts recycling centers and stitches them into , wallets and laptop cases. Amazingly durable, but with a sleek, modern look, these accessories will last you a long time and keep your goods safe. As Interrobang puts it: “You trust your seatbelt with your life, and now you can trust it with your laptop!”

    Great recycling idea! Very stylish and durable. If the word seatbelts wasn’t in the title, I would have never guessed it what they were made of.
