Hello I'm another Kiwi living in Australia. I am self employed. I am right into creating things by Upcycling the old and un-wanted into Funky "One off Designs" I spent 10 years in New Zealand Recycling 1960's-1970's furniture in Unique furniture pieces which I sold through galleries and online. I also made satchels/bags for Laptops, Wine, Lp's, Nappies, Family gear, beach bags by Recycling Advertising Billboards. I am now Recycling unwanted sails into man bags suitable for the beach the gym or what eva you are into. If you have any Sails/Kite Sails I can have I will do a trade by making a bag just for you out off your very own Sail/Kite Sails. So please contact me for my address. 0416040538 Cheers Vickie

here is a couple of snaps. as you can see very basic. fully recycled and very practical.

Awesome they look awesome, how much do these sell for? I'm going to launch my new bags at Woodford Folk Festival. I'll send you a photo soon.

Bet you get heaps off orders. My idea is just fresh. Girls are good at creating Funky ****...

Reminds me of when you saw people in the early days of shortboarding wrecking what would be classic and valuable longboards years after by reshaping them and turning them into useless "shortboards".

sorry assmaster but i think you miss understand the concept. no-one is purposely damaging their kites to make recycled useless things.

looks like rhino slaughter to me...
