I love stuff made out of other stuff.  Sure, I could say it’s because I love mother Earth, but in fact it is mostly aesthetic.  I covet things made of gum wrappers.  I have a wallet made of lawn chairs.  And I have always wanted something made of movie posters.

But I really, really want a messenger bag made of tires.  I am very picky about my day to day bags, and so far I haven’t found a tire one that meets my weird needs.  This one is pretty, but a little BDSM meets weekend LARPer.  This is the ideal shape but too small.  This bike tire one might fit the bill.  But it’s a little out of my price range at the moment.

In the meantime, while looking for this, I discovered a boatload of other awesome items, like this steel wallet, this awesome gum wrapper cuff, and this reasonably priced laptop case, which I would have immediately bought if any of the movies appealed to me.  Ecoist has really good deals.  I highly suggest it.
