Of all the accessories made out of recycled materials Focused Bags are probably the most far-fetched ones I have seen so far. The idea of turning an old - hard - wooden skateboard into a fashion accessory is just … pretty damn cool! Especially if it’s your own old board you can get turned into a pretty bag. I can’t think of a better way to retire your old board.

Sophie Manson is the designer of Focused Bags; each bag is unique and hand crafted and there are four main styles to choose from: Switch, Big Spin, Hurricane and No-Comply.
They can be purchased on eBay, but the site also offers a custom order service.

Focused Bags will also buy your old boards in pretty much any condition you have them: whole, snapped into two halves, and even just pieces of it … maybe not the most ‘romantic’ way to retire your old board, but still a lot better than just throwing it into the garbage.
