The Story
2xO began in 2001 as makers of unique, high quality bags upcycled from billboard skins.
Our Mission:
The individual is becoming more and more anonymous in our growing world while our world is becoming more and more of a global village. At the same time, the beauty of our village is being lost as we slowly turn it into an uninhabitable place.
Our products are sourced from advertising billboard vinyls, car seat belts, inner tubes, truck tarps, flags and banners, condemned fire hose and many other materials that are ultimately destined for landfill. They are then upcycled, by hand and with care, into unique, high quality items for you to enjoy.
At 2xO we are drawing beauty from the ugly. The metamorphosis of a 2xO product from landfill destined material to a handmade, quality product is helping to make our village beautiful again and its intrinsic features will proclaim your individuality.
We are determined to help reduce landfill while providing the individual with a product that can't be found anywhere else.
It is with this spirit that we will make a difference.
the quality:
Every bag is individually hand inspected to ensure it measures up to 2xO's high standard of quality. We pride ourselves on making our bags better than our competitors.

the material:
At least 75% of each product is made from landfill bound materials sourced primarily from:
vinyl advertising billboard skins this material is designed to withstand the most extreme weather conditions. UV protected, water resistant and tear-proof seatbelts all straps are made from seatbelts/seatbelt material street banners heavy duty triloble nylon (stronger and more durable than most nylons) sail cloth discarded from yachts, waterproof and strong enough to withstand 50 knot winds fire hoses rugged material with stories that will never be told
the design:
Each bag is unique. you will never, ever find the same bag twice.
Each bag has lived a former life - advertising, fire fighting, sailing, transport.
Each bag will show the odd signs of its former life, such as wrinkles, fading and scuff marks.
Each bag will highlight your individuality.
