Belt-Up Bags are fun, funky and unusual designer eco-friendly bags made from real (some recycled) seat belts.
Our bags are handmade to the highest quality, are durable, easy to clean and will last you a lifetime.
Our bags come in a huge choice of colours with complimentary linings in either a vibrant Jo-Ann material from the USA or a beautiful Liberty of London print, so there's something for everyone and for all seasons too! With our choice of styles there's also a bag for all occasions - from our classic Mini Hand Bag or large Maxi Shoulder Bag, to our fashionable Laptop Bag and innovative Baby Bag.

How it all started by Robin Brannigan (California, USA)
"My husband works for a car dealer and under a recall, the seat belts had to be replaced. This left boxes of seat belts headed for the dumpster. Thinking they were in such good condition and too good to throw away, he brought them home to me. At first, I thought of webbing for lounge chairs or maybe a hammock and then I noticed my daughter needed a bag to carry her books to school. After all, these seat belts were meant to hold up to 300 lbs, were extremely durable and washable. With a little trial and error and a few proto-types, I came up with the design for a purse (bag). Now all my friends and family carry these purses (bags) and just love them! I know you will too!."
