"Some people may feel a sense of nostalgia just from a random toy shape. In my childhood, there is a dim memory about something very similar to this. At a fruit shop located in the basement of a big general hospital, when we asked, “please make it a gift”, they put the various fruits in a plastic bag to make them look good. Brilliant colors like pink, yellow and emerald green highlighted the cheapness of the bag. Decades later, I encountered a French man shopping with this bag at Marche in Paris. On a cold winter day, covered up in a down jacket, with only a white plastic bag in his hand, I still cannot forget how that sight looked strangely stylish."

By using recycled materials and hand made processes, PUEBCO imbues these objects with the feel of many lifetimes, and a sense of history that makes each piece unique.

Since its founding in Japan in 2007, the brand has operated on the premise that the most interesting materials are those that already have a life behind them.  Puebco works with salvaged and reclaimed sources — recycled military tents and clothing, decommissioned mail bags, truck upholstery, and repurposed parachutes — redesigning them into garments, bags, rugs, and home goods and bringing new life to the materials. Items are made in small batches to keep overproduction minimal and each run intentional.
