Macho baby bag for dads

A US handbag manufacturer is trying to make changing nappies a bit manlier, with a baby bag made from lorry and tractor tyre inner tubes. Virginia based Passchal has designed a ‘Dad’s baby bag’ made from recycled inner tubes, trimmed with hemp, and fitted with a battery operated light to help locate that dummy somewhere at the bottom of the bag.

Designer Angela Greene said the inspiration for the bag came after a female client asked if she could make a baby bag for her husband to use. “As I was designing it, I thought that the buckles, grommets, rivets gave it a Harley look,” she told Reuters. The ‘Dad’s baby bag’, priced at about $175, is the latest in a line of bags that the company make from used lorry and tractor tyre inner tubes.
