Banner in Cape Town

we produce bags from already used PVC billboard bannersits a shoulder bag with or without your own logo on the flap can carry laptops as well recycling and socila engagement ,because handmade and produced in the Townships.

The bags are canvas/PVC bags and can be made-up with a different logos or images on the flap. RE-LOAD creates employment in Cape Town and supports social projects. The idea to manufacture bags from recycled billboard-material was generated more or less accidentally. The founder, German-born Peter Kirsten, who is a biologist by profession, lives in Cape Town sincef What was just a crazy idea at first, became much more very soon after the first bags produced, were snapped up quickly. To re-use existing material and to avoid plastic waste was not only a worth-while task, but, if a nice idea could be created around it, something useful, fun and beneficial could be produced from the waste. Hundreds of them hang around at walls everywhere; they look us at the airport, at hotels and the highways as well. Never for a long time, but always at selected places, they are colourful and stand-out with snappy slogans. Huge billboard banners are well-known to everybody and accepted as eye-catcher, giving colour to bland and grey areas. But no-one hardly thinks about the huge amounts of synthetic, plastic and toxic waste generated for just a very short. These banners are now given a second life and re-load -bags are produced. Each bag is a unique designer-piece, cut and joined from single components. No bag looks like any other and each one has their own serial-number. An environmental concept which re-uses material and creates fun through fashion. Due to its size, this bag is perfect as universal bag as it can be closed easily, quick and safely with Velcro. The bags are perfect for conferences and congresses and we have done several important projects during the last years, e.g. we will design and produce a limited number of bags out of this special material.
