Bag your own piece of “Upcycled Urban Art” By purchasing a product from Upcycled by Vickie Davis Australia you are also helping save our planet.

THE PROCESS in creating products using discarded advertising billboards. First we find discarded advertising billboards. Next we cut them into manageable sized pieces; this is heavy-dirty work…… After we have washed and groomed these pieces they are then cut by the designer into funky, unique one off original pieces ready to become a bag, satchel, barbeque apron or beanbag. The collated pieces are then sewn together with experience while specializing in sewing heavy-duty materials. The product is then checked for quality control. I photograph it (because every one is different), we package it and finally we send it out into the world.

Upcycled advertising billboards are used to create: “FUN”ctional ART that is eco friendly, “Fashionable One off Designs”, that are durable, tough, sturdy, water resistant, versatile.
