ORIGINAL ECO-CHIC DESIGNER BAGS

Ben & Bear breathes new life into redundant materials to create original eco-chic designer bags. Inner tubes of tyres, second hand/vintage clothes and belts are all recycled, reused and ultimately transformed into utterly original chic designer bags and handbags.

Make your statement.

Eco-Chic designer bags are a reflection of who you are. Individual statements emblazoned in colours and cuts to reflect how you feel today. Let them be a reflection of who you are and what you stand for.

Ben & Bear is an experience of transforming what has ended into a new expression. Will you join us on our journey?

Our transformation begins with bags. Every bag Ben & Bear creates has a unique hidden story.

The Ben & Bear transformation begins with what has ended. Only when something has ended can a new story begin. Yet only with history can a story have meaning. Ben & Bear transformation begins with a journey that is both old and new.

We believe that the time has come to resurrect the art of storytelling and to breathe new life into that which was previously considered old, redundant and casually tossed aside. Our bag collection is the first chapter in this story and the first step on a journey towards self empowerment.

Ben & Bear was founded by Raewyn du Toit a South African designer living in Asia.

SO TELL US YOUR STORY!

When you have bought your new designer eco-riginal bag , email us the story of how you changed something in your life or in the life of another. We want to hear your transformational stories!

Email us the story of how you changed something in your life or in the life of another. The creation of our eco bags shows how you can take second hand, thrown away objects and reinvent them into something fun and useful - giving them a new life. We invite you to take what’s "old" in your life – behavior patterns, attitudes, relationships, etc - and transform them into something new and more to what you want, or empower someone close to you to make this change.
