Bilbao


Street fashion goes green at this hip little store, where everything is made from recycled materials. You'll find colourful messenger bags made from old advertising banners, sleek backpacks made of truck tyres, eye-catching belts made from former firefighter hoses, and bicycle inner tubes reconfigured into wallets. The designs are bright and bold – and make fine conversation pieces as well.
