Hand Crafted One-of-a-Kind Fashion Handbags Are Made
from Used Truck and Tractor Tire Inner Tubes
Ken Kobrick
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) August 22, 2005 --
Fashion can develop from some of the simplest ideas
such as, the inner tube of a truck tire. Passchal, a
handbag company in Richmond, VA, has created environmentally
conscious handbags that are converted into chic and
fashionable styles for every age.
Collected, cleaned and created by hand, Passchal produces
a unique alternative to leather. Each bag is original
in the form of markings that come from the factory where
the tube was manufactured.
"Every single one of them is different," said Ken
Kobrick the President of Passchal. "They're like fingerprints."
Smooth grain, leather trims, and a detachable shoulder
strap add character to each bag.
Smartlyte™, a system that illuminates the interior
of the bag when opened, along with modern print linings
make the inside of the Passchal bag just as creative
as the outside.
The bags are waterproof, stain-resistant and guaranteed
for life. Even the stars are already carrying Passchal
handbags. The bags appeared in the Billboard Awards
goody bag, and will be featured at the Fashion Week
ReTreat in New York City.
For more information on Passchal handbags please contact
Ken Kobrick or visit the website at www.passchal.com.
Passchal is a Richmond-based company that has been
in service for one year.
All bags are made from recycled truck and tire inner
tubes. The handbags retail between $128-$160 and are
available through Passchal.
