Noblivity brings a couple of new potential products that should get attention for the fashionable women of today. But the real score is the eco-friendly nature that comes behind it. And the secret? They are made from used decommissioned fire hoses which should really be something worth looking into.

When it comes to the materials used in the manufacturing and use of fire hoses, we all know that they are made of superior quality. Now putting that into consideration, adding a little designer’s touch can certainly offer something durable and reliable that should fit in nicely with the fashionable women who put premium in design and sturdy accessories that complement their overall wardrobe.

“We are constantly inspired by the ever evolving fashion industry and we want to personally connect savvy shoppers with the latest emerging designer collections, enhancing the overall shopping experience with the magic of informed discovery,” says Andrea Williamson Noblivity’s founder.

For sure, the fashion trends we hear of today that applies the eco-friendly requirements are rampant and among them would include designs offered by groups like Ecoskin. There are a lot of eco-brands that are rising in the market and apparently most of them are gearing up for the coming Spring.

With so many eco-fashion wear that are bound to hit the market, displaying them through eco-fashion shows are sure to do wonders as far as consumer consideration on which among the top eco-brand designers are offering a lot of things in the market today and much of them can be seen at Magic which plays host to a lot of eco-friendly designers and what they have in store for us in the coming Spring.

Fans can look forward to Holiday and Resort, two new collections that blend bamboo, tencel, and spandex to create soft and contoured dresses, tops, and wraps.

However, when it comes to a product call the Trolly Dolly by ZPM then usability takes on a new meaning.

This particular bag is known as the “Twenty five bags in one bag” this includes fourteen strong washable nylon bags, ten sealable fruit and vegetable bags, the set is completely colour coordinated just to show everyone that you have a set and not a load of odd bags. Which actually says it all really, except,  What happens when you manage to fill all of these bags up?

If you have some old leathers belts lying around and you can fit them on your waist anymore, here’s a good idea on how to make leather bracelets from recycled belts!

There are plenty of old leather belts that have been discarded because of changing tastes, or a part broke, or maybe the original owner just got too fat. This technique is a way to make bracelets from these belts. Cut them carefully and you should be able to get three from each belt.

I’m using a laser cutter here, but the original technique was taught to me by my friend Becca who used leather tools to create cool effects as well. The method of decoration is your own, but making the bracelet itself is very easy as you’ll see.
