Being creative yet eco-friendly at the same time, Italian accessory maker Jiro produces unique belts and accessories using worn-out bicycle tires. We have just received a gripload of their stuff.

Those who worry about hygiene fear not, as all the recycled tires have been washed thoroughly before being made into belts, bracelets and key holders.

Although each piece is one of a kind, the red/white/green bracelet is even more unique, as it is part of the limited ‘Il Guerriero’ box set that was released in conjunction with Vittoria for the Giro d’Italia 2010 race. The sets were limited to 30 and included a reissue of the original Il Guerriero tires as well as a matching belt and bracelet. Well, we guess there were a few spares, so head over down to our store ASAP.

Jiro products are priced from SGD36 onwards
