SUMMARY: KAZMOK stands for a stylish, strong and durable line of (business) bags and accessories made from used conveyor belts (re-use). FURTHER DETAILS: The ambition of KAZMOK is to discover how much value you can re-generate on a waste material like a used conveyor belt. For KAZMOK it is the ultimate goal to transform a dirty used conveyor belt into a fashionable, strong and durable business bag, which you can buy in the more exclusive (web) shops in the world. And people should buy our products because they love them. It’s an added bonus that our products also have respect for Mother Nature. By replacing leather for used conveyor belt, there’s an enormous value increase of an industrial waste material. And our products are unique (by the wear of the conveyor the bag has its own pattern of scars and smudges) and special because it is all handmade (craftsmanship). Furthermore KAZMOK strives in her production process to minimalize the ecological footprint. KAZMOK strongly believes that re-use or super-use will be an essential key for a more sustainable future. Since the start in 2009 KAZMOK has expanded her collection from briefcases, bags, trolleys, shoppers and accessories like iPad sleeves and belts. Our products had a previous life in the flower industry, distribution centres and airports. The products of KAZMOK respond to a growing group of consumers that want to know the story behind the product. These consumers are interested in stories on craftsmanship, fairness and sustainability. KAZMOK can meet these requirements and can be a forerunner on this topic of making ‘purpose’. Due to the lack of craftsmanship in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) the collection is produced in Czech Republic.
