Hosewear began making breaking news when it went from an idea to reality a year ago by Ivar Hosewear, a student-entrepreneur from Estonia.
These innovative and durable products are made out of fire hoses that would otherwise be taken to a landfill - all while the material is still good enough to take 20-bar pressure. This means each product is 100% unique, eco-friendly, and it protects your stuff extremely well from the outside elements. While being stylish, you can also help protect our Earth by recycling the fashionable way.

To date, Hosewear has gotten fire hoses for their line of products from Norway and Estonia, with more countries in sight. Other materials are also “upcycled”, whenever possible. For example, the inside lining is made of manufacturing leftovers.
Hosewear was also the first project to be funded on Hooandja, the Estonian
crowdfunding site (similar to Kickstarter) back in 2012.
Today, Hosewear is selling products via their website and also available in stores throughout
Germany, Denmark, Estonia, and Sweden. This includes some online sites, with several in the US (eg Hipcycle.com).
Right now, these classic yet hip products have been sold to 15 countries around the world and quickly accessing many more.
