Collection: Up Line

Hi, I'm Donovan, and I'm Up Line. I handcraft wallets and accessories from discarded inner tubes. Functional minimalist wallets with sustainable design and production. Upcycling has been my full-time gig since 2009.

That's over fifteen years working with tubes, thousands of wallets made, and more than a few hard lessons earned. Through all this, I've learned the best way to take advantage of the unique strengths of my materials. Each tube is sorted for best use, and choice pieces are sewn into well-tested patterns. This makes for durable, functional, and eye-catching wallets.

When I'm outside the studio, you can find me at my retail shop, Upcycled on the Hip Strip in Missoula. There, I feature my work and the work of over 50 other upcycling artists. There, I also help work to bring this website. Via the Upcycled Shop site, Upcycled store, and Up Line, I've introduced countless people to new ideas in sustainable living through ethical creation and consumption.
