The recycled tractor inner tubes we use have stamps and texture on them. Depending on how we cut and finish them, these markings form part of the character of the bag. If you love the idea of having a recycled tractor tyre bag, check out our recycled bag collection.
Animal print accessories have always had a maximalist feeling and ours are no different. The faux fur is fluffy and soft. We combine it with soft suede feel fabrics that are the perfect pairing for the faux fur. We’ve even been known to line an otherwise ordinary handbag with faux fur! The animal print scarves and berets are super snuggly for colder days.
Being a proudly British brand, we are in love with our British tweed handbag collection. The plain tweed comes in soft hues of pink, blue, tan, brown, green and grey. The tan and green checked tweed has a soft blue check that makes each handbag look distinct.
Waxed cotton is a practical fabric for UK weather and our waxed cotton totes, crossbody bags and backpacks all work for commuting. We love the gold, especially at this time of year. The green, blue and plum shades pair well with our tweed backpacks.
We have designed all the handbags you can see on Nushi. We enjoy putting a surprise lining into a plain bag. It makes us smile when we open them. (We also sell handy handbag liners to keep your bag clean too).

]]>We upcycle the inner tubes. First we wash them to remove and grime and grease that is on the rubber, making sure that it is sparkly clean and ready for use. Then we cut our handbag patterns out of the inner tube. Each inner tube is different. Some of them have patches and stamps on them. This is one of the reasons that every handmade handbag is unique.
The lining material is also usually leftover material that would otherwise have been thrown away. The bags are sewn by our team in the workroom. Finally we add buckles and accessories.
Scilla is a clutch bag or wrist bag made from the inner tube with a punch-hole detail that shows the brightly coloured lining. The wrist strap is removable to make a clutch.

]]>This season has gathered an eclectic mix of styles from 90's throwbacks to colourful crafty bags and here are our top picks.
Despite the fact that we are no longer lounging around at home and most of us are back at work, the trend for soft slouchy hobo bags is still here to stay. We think that’s because these roomy bags can carry a lot from children’s snacks to yoga gear and everything you need for a full day out at the office (spare jumper, water bottle, purse, make-up, etc).
One of our al- time favourite bags is the leopard print slouch bag. This soft faux fur bag in animal print goes well with neutral coloured outfits.
The same bag in a black & white cow print faux fur makes a monochrome statement.
Simply huge tote bags are brilliant – so no wonder they are highly fashionable at the moment. Made in practical cotton canvas or linen, use these bags for shopping or days out alike.
The cotton canvas beach bag with bright purple stripes (the pantone colour of the year!) will immediately brighten your day and start you planning for those summer days ahead.
Brilliant blue makes this the perfect tote for spring. The blue reminds us of bluebells in the meadows. Roomy and useful with an external pocket.
Choose a colourful craft bag for your hobby or shopping in vibrant red, green, yellow and blue!
Another of our favourites is this large tote bag that makes a great weekend bag, just the right size for a change of clothes and to pop in a few accessories.
From the supersize to the super-small. Mini party purses are the order of the day if you want to dash out with just your phone, purse and keys and maybe a bit of lippy. These purses are perfect for a party and can often be slipped over the wrist.
Blossom is a pencil case sized mini purse in a range of animal print faux furs. A mini purse with style.
Soft crushed velvet in a neutral colour makes this the perfect purse for a spring wedding.
If you are a classic black kind of girl, this velvet accessory bag with zipped pocket and a bright pink lining for fun will be just perfect.
We’ve got a range of small crossbody bags for you too.
Wristlets make the perfect party bag as they can be kept nearby while you dance the night away. Just about big enough for the essentials on a big night out. No wonder these mini bags are as popular as ever.
Cow print wristlets are a bit of fun in soft faux fur animal print fabric, soft enough to carry comfortably all night.
Faux fur leopard print fabric adds a bit of colour to an all-black evening outfit.
Or perhaps plain black is more your style, in soft velvet fabric
and with sparkles!
Supersize your wrist bag with the large wrist bag black & animal print or the Daisy in black & animal print
Keep it all together with an oversize clutch bag. These are perfect if you need to carry a few more items, cosmetics & tissues for a wedding or scarf while it is still a bit cooler in spring. The oversize clutch is on trend.
Pretty in blue oversize clutch in soft velvet fabric
Or bright cornflower blue oversize clutch.
We are sure you will find a bag for your spring outings and events in our handbag collections but if something is not quite right, remember that we can make a custom bag for you. All bags are made in-house by our team.

Nushi recycled inner tube bags are made of tractor tyre inner tubes. The inner tubes, which we source locally, would otherwise have ended up in landfill and rubber takes a very long time to break down. Rubber can last a lifetime, literally, taking at an estimated 50-80 years to decompose. By buying a recycled inner tube bag from us, you are saving the planet.
We take the inner tubes and clean them of all the grease and muck that is attached to them. This is often quite a process! A lot of love goes into every handbag that we make. We wash and polish up the rubber and then it is ready to reuse the materials to make the bags. By making recycled inner tube bags, we are reducing, reusing and recycling.
The inner tubes for our bags are sourced from dealers local to our workshop. We don’t import the materials, saving on transport. We also hand make all the inner tube bags here in the UK, each one is crafted by our team in Herefordshire. By shopping at Nushi, you help support a small local business providing local employment.
One of the advantages of having a recycled inner tube bag is that you know that no-one else has a bag quite like yours. The stamps, patches, ribbing and raised edges all make unique features on your bag. The natural curves in the inner tubes give them a lovely shape. Every inner tube that we recycle is different and so every bag that we make using them is different too.
The recycled rubber material from the inner tubes is durable and hard wearing. It is also waterproof. This is a great advantage if you want to take your bag out walking on the beach or with your dogs. The recycled inner tube backpack is perfect for cycling, mountain biking or even skiing as it keeps your spare clothes dry. The bag can then be thrown in the boot of the car at the end of the walk and simply wiped clean when you get home.

You may not want to pack a full suitcase for a short trip. This is where the weekend bag is the perfect solution. Picking the best weekend bag depends on a few factors.
Space is the key factor for your weekender. It needs to have enough space to hold the clothes you need, but not so much that you end up taking too much. You don’t want an aching shoulder when you carry it. The perfect weekender is roomy enough for a change of clothing (or two).
Now that we call carry about a lot of tech gear, between phone, kindle or tablet, charger, camera, purse, makeup, we need pockets to stash these in. The perfect overnight bag has a choice of pockets for items that you want easy access to and those that you want to be secure.
A weekend bag needs to be made of sturdy material, especially if you are using public transport. Even if you aren’t, it needs to be able to cope with being transferred around in luggage carts at hotels, in car boots, and on floors or counters while you check in.
The style of your weekend bag is up to you. You might want a bright bag that stands out so you can spot it in the crowd or a neutral colour that will go with every outfit. When you are away there is every chance you will meet new people and you might as well say something about who you are!
Nushi makes a lovely tweed overnight bag, called Foxglove with lots of space. It has a secure internal pocket for more valuable items and a clasp fastening. The lining is a practical polyester suede and the tweed is durable.
Rose is an animal print weekend bag in soft animal print faux fur. Rose makes a statement but is one of our most popular handbags. It is roomy, and has two pockets, one internal zipped pocket and one external pocket flap that is easy to access for keys, etc.
Both bags are unique, handmade in our workroom and we know that you will love them!
]]>We started using offcuts of materials that would have been thrown out by the factory. It seemed such a shame to see fabric going to landfill, so we decided that we would use it to create bags instead.
One of our most popular bags is one of the very first bags we ever made. These recycled polyester tote bags are perfect as reusable shopping or carryalls.
The other really popular recycled fabric bag accessory we make is our handbag liner. This keeps your handbag clean as the liner can be removed and machine washed. We custom make these handbag liners, so if you need a specific size, let us know.
More recently we started using waste from a local tractor tyre dealer to make a range of recycled inner tube bags. The rubber in these inner tubes make them the perfect hard-wearing waterproof material for a bag.
Recycled inner tube backpacks like our Oak backpack are perfect for active sports and adventure travel. The backpacks have external and internal pockets to hold your valuables.
Bryony is a simple eco-friendly crossbody bag that retains the authentic shape of the inner tube it is made from.
Ash is a large messenger bag or laptop bag with lots of internal pockets to carry laptop, recharging cables, and notes.
All the recycled inner tube bags have features like stamps, printed or raised patterns and of course, patches that make them unique, one of a kind bags.
]]>The Nushi team work hard to deliver the best quality we can and to make sure that your handbag is something you love and continue to use for years after purchase.
Nushi is based in Herefordshire, UK and we are proudly British. We use heritage fabrics like British tweed for our handmade fabric handbags and are careful to choose only the best quality cloth we can find.
The fabric bags were developed by our in-house team and are designed to make them useful and stylish at the same time. The designs vary from roomy weekend bags to small clutch bags, backpacks to pencil cases.
As each bag is produced here, we are able to design custom handmade handbags for you. If you would like a particular fabric bag in another colour or material, we will do our best to make it for you.
Custom handmade handbags provide that sense of uniqueness that we love. It is one of the reasons that Nushi bags are so popular – they stand out from the crowd and are the perfect bag for someone who likes to be individual.
]]>Animal print is so on trend in 2021 and we have small makeup bags, pencil cases, leopard print hats and scarves. We have lovely cow print and animal print micro wristlet bags to choose from, either of which would be very welcome if your gift recipient likes animal print.
Velvet and faux fur make lovely soft accessories for day or evening. We use soft velvet for evening clutch purses like this sky blue evening purse and faux fur wristlet bags, as well as bag tidies.
If you need a gift for a classic dresser then this blue wool mix tote bag with a pretty purple lining would be ideal. Talking of classic style, check out our houndstooth check tote bags & accessories including an evening purse & scarf. These snappy little tote bags are currently half price!
Slow fashion and recycling is important to us and if you have someone in your life who is a conscious shopper, then the wallets, glasses cases and pencil cases we make from upcycled inner tubes make the perfect gift.
This tartan makeup tidy would be the perfect gift for someone who loves pink and wants a cute way to store their lippy (and more) in this A5-size bag.
British tweed is always welcome as this lovely quality material has stood the test of time. Choose between tan brown, chestnut brown, or misty sea blue cosmetic purses.

Bright green, yellow, pink or blue hues were seen on the autumn catwalks and this bright blue leather tote bag would fit right in with one of those outfits. Some of our bags have a secret to let out, with bright blue, lipstick red or purple lining.
Padding and quilting are not only for coats this winter, our jade green evening bag with a quilted fold over front or our classic green tweed and waxed cotton shoulder bag with quilted panels both follow this autumn/winter fashion trend. There is also a touch of quilting in our classic weekend bag in green tweed with a quilted clasp panel.
This is a trend we love as we have lots of lovely super-size bags including the weekend bag mentioned above, available in tweed or soft faux fur animal print designs. We even have a cow print shoulder bag. The cotton canvas beach bag is a favourite in stripes or tropical print, should you be so lucky as to escape the winter weather here. And the bluebell slouch is so handy for filling with gym kit, etc in animal prints or cow print.
Pretty much any of the basic black or grey bags would go well with a suit. We do like the pairing of bright bags with suits, so that would work too. Our range of houndstooth check bags would also work well if you are back to working in a corporate world.
If fluff and fuzz are your thing, we have just the right bags for you in our faux fur animal print ranges – leopard prints in grey or brown and cow prints in black and white would absolutely make you on trend for this style without having to dress top to toe in it.
We have snuggly scarves and accessories to match (evening bags, cosmetic purses, wrist bags and even an animal print face mask!) Or perhaps a pared down soft blue evening purse or black velvet wristlet instead?
From tan brown and chestnut brown tweeds, through brown leopard animal print to chocolate brown corduroy – we have the perfect shade of brown for your winter trend – pick a crossbody bag, an XXL slouch or a make-up tidy to co-ordinate.
]]>Nushi will be exhibiting at Green Live in London 1-3 October 2021.
Green Live is the event to inspire sustainable living - free tickets are being sponsored and will be used to plant 25,000 trees - that's a very good reason to join us on our stand.
We'll be showing off our recycled inner tube bags including clutch bags, satchels and handbags. Be quick as the stocks are limited and the bags are unique. Once they are sold, they are sold.
]]>Nushi makes a range of tweed tote bags in soft heather pink, neutral grey and chestnut brown that are perfect for this time of year. The bags are made with Abraham Moon tweed fabric and finished with antique brass hardware to give that traditional heritage feeling to the bags.
An open tote with waxed cotton straps and quilted panels is a recent addition to our tweed tote bag range.
If you are looking for a smaller bag that you can wear crossbody while on your commute or while shopping, we make British tweed crossbody bags in chestnut, sage green, tab brown and misty blue fabrics and a quirky moorland pink and blue leather crossbody bag.
Remember our bags are handmade by us in Herefordshire, so if you want a particular handbag in your own colour and style, we can make it up for you.
One of our most popular designs is the country tweed weekend bag in soft sage green with a quilted panel and clasp, and internal zipped pocket to keep valuables safe. This roomy bag can be used for a weekend or shopper.
We make matching tweed cosmetic purses to keep your tweed bag tidy – the perfect size for essential makeup and in combination with one of our tweed bags, they make a perfect gift for someone you love.
Last but not least and one of our most popular designs is the tweed hobo bag. This slouchy bag is just perfect for slinging over your shoulder with your gym/yoga kit or when you need to pack that extra jacket to keep yourself warm when you are out for the day.
Whichever tweed bag you choose, we know you will love it!

Three of our favourite new handbags are a soft natural green. The first two are a sage green and a moss green backpack in British tweed and contrast fabrics. The third is a chive green waxed cotton crossbody bag. Both the backpack and crossbody bag are a useful size for packing phone, purse and the essential face mask and hand sanitiser.
Chestnut brown and tan tweed make the perfect accessory for the neutral tan that forms an autumn wardrobe staple. Choose from a chestnut brown tweed crossbody bag or a shoulder bag with leather detail. A tan tweed cosmetic purse makes a lovely gift. Tan tweed is also used for our crossbody and country weekend bags.
Neutral grey will go with anything. Two of our latest bags are made from herringbone British tweed in a neutral light grey. Thistle is a small bag with a buckle and adjustable straps. Orchid is a classic crossbody with two zipped pockets.
Neutral accessories make the perfect gift for Christmas. These high-quality handmade handbags will be treasured by the recipient and are certain to please. All our handbags and accessories are made in our Herefordshire workshop.

Flowers and chocolates are great standby gifts and can be purchased at the very last minute if you have left it until then. Do you know what your mother’s favourite flowers are? Does she eat all those chocolates from the variety box that no-one else ever wants to eat?
Of course, we think a handbag is the perfect gift for mother’s day. Our top handbags that we think will make the perfect gift are the small tweed bags in heather pink, sea blue and nutmeg brown. If your mum loves animal print, we have a lovely leopard print slouch bag.
If the budget doesn’t run to a handbag this mother’s day, what about a makeup purse, wristlet or evening purse in soft velvet. We also have smart dogtooth clutch bags. A faux fur hat or scarf is an alternative small gift.
]]>We have a range of bags and accessories that range in price from £15 to £120 so you are sure to find something in our suggestions for Valentine gifts.
A makeup or cosmetic bag is suitable for men or women and can be filled with treats for the recipient. We have brown British tweed and pink tartan check versions for sale. Crushed velvet accessory purses and animal print pencil cases (which can be used for accessories) are also available.
If you can’t splash out on a winter sun holiday, you might be able to buy a bag for the daily commute or a weekend away. Thyme is a flight bag that fits over the handle on hand luggage. Dahlia is a dainty crossbody bag available in lots of different fabrics. Foxglove is a classic tweed weekend bag.
Faux fur animal print scarves and hats have proved a popular choice, choose from leopard print and cheetah print hats or a snood.
Clutches and evening bags, or a wrist bag, would make a lovely addition if you are going out for dinner on Valentine’s. We have animal print or soft velvet clutch bags and houndstooth check clutch bags to choose from.
]]>This shopper bag has zingy red, beige and green tropical leaves all over it on a black background. The bag zips up to carry all of your shopping safely. Plus we love the shape. If the vibrant tropical print is not your style, what about a muted paisley print in soft pinks and purples?
The Rose shoulder bag is a pretty great bag, even if we do say so ourselves. Roomy enough for a good day shopping or even a change of clothes for a weekend away. Rose comes in leopard print and cheetah print with a black external zipped pocket so you don’t lose your keys. Top it off with a hat, snood or scarf in a matching animal print.
Last but not least is our wonderful waxed cotton travel bag. We called it Thyme for time travel! This hand luggage flight bag has an external pocket that fits over your trolley case while you are walking miles around an airport and there are plenty of pockets for passports, tickets, toiletries for the plane journey, and sunglasses and suncream for when you get to your destination.
Why not treat yourself to a fresh start in 2020?
]]>The essential business like option is a little black dress. Whether it has statement sleeves in a glamorous colour or you are going to top it off with a jacket that says something, you will need a little black bag to go with it.
Are you the party star shining in your sequin bodycon dress? You’ll want a sparkly diamante wrist bag to dangle on your wrist and take out clubbing after the office party is over!
It might be important to you that you stand out and are independent. Or maybe your focus this Christmas is on the environment and not harming it with mass consumption. In that case, our eco-friendly clutch bags made from recycled inner tubes would make a unique statement.
Velvet is the perfect Christmas fabric, giving your Christmas party look a soft and luxurious feel. You might want to pare back your look with a simple structured dress and killer heels and use a velvet clutch bag to make it Christmassy.
]]>
Are you going to go home for Christmas? If you are, stash all your gear into one of our travel bags – Rose is a large shoulder bag that is roomy enough to double as a weekend bag and Thyme is our travel bag with multitudes of pockets for every little extra.
Take yourselves down to the nearest farm shop or Christmas tree grower and pick out a real tree to decorate (don’t forget to dispose of it responsibly after Christmas!) Get the children involved in decorating too. Then add country themed presents under the Christmas tree – we recommend a roomy British tweed makeup bag or toiletry bag.
What better way is there to spend Christmas day than by the log burner in your holiday let or home surrounded by your family and friends, eating, drinking and being merry! If you’re lucky enough to have snowfall over Christmas you might find that you can’t get out your country lane and you’ll have to stay put! It’s also a perfect excuse to buy local and support the community.
If your family has a tradition of walking off your Christmas dinner, this is the place to be. Whether you are trudging through slush in your wellies behind the dogs or wading through snow in the fields, taking a walk on Boxing Day is fun. What you’ll need is a waterproof bag to carry that extra jumper or bottle of water – try a waxed cotton messenger bag or sturdy eco-friendly recycled inner tube bag or backpack
Wherever you spend this Christmas remember to wrap up warm and enjoy!

If your Dad is still working or commuting, a satchel or backpack might be a good gift to give this Christmas. For those Dads who are keen on the environment, a recycled inner tube bag would be perfect.
Personalised t-shirts, mugs, artwork or personal items like watches and wallets will let him know that you were thinking of him and planning a special treat this Christmas.
Novelty socks are a standard fall-back gift for Dads. They are marginally less embarrassing than a Christmas jumper and at least you can’t see them underneath his trousers (unless he is still wearing sandals in December)!
Treat your Dad this Christmas with his favourite tipple – whether that is a bottle of whisky or brandy, or a pint of ale at the nearest pub.
Don’t forget the gadgets that will all be on sale soon for Black Friday. You can spend a fortune on your father and be in the good books if you buy him a phone, computer, audio or car gadget.
Dad boxes are kind of a cool version of the Christmas hamper, or even a stocking, fill a nice gift box with all the bits & bobs that your Dad enjoys like his favourite coffee & chocolate, or spicy food.
It doesn’t have to be food, it could be shaving kit or gardening related. If you are looking for a great gift, buy our tweed toiletry bag or even a waxed cotton travel bag and fill it up with useful stuff.
]]>
Do you make an exact list of what you need, so that you can go straight to it and buy? Or do you shop around, comparing items and thinking about which one would be preferred by the gift recipient?
You might be the type of person that leaves all your Christmas shopping until December or the type who has already completed most of their Christmas shopping list in October!
There is something atmospheric about spending an evening Christmas shopping when the shops are open late and the Christmas lights are on. Meeting friends and enjoying a coffee or something stronger to chase away the cold.
Conversely, shopping online gives you a wider choice if you are shopping for something particular and opens the doors to a huge range of retailers that do not have brick and mortar shops. If you have family scattered far and wide, shopping online can also make it easier to send the gift directly to the receiver.
Christmas wish lists work well. If you are unsure about what you think someone will like, wish lists can solve the problem and make sure there are no disappointed family members on Christmas day. Wish lists can be emailed to the gift giver so that they still get a choice about what to buy but can be sure that what they buy is right.

What’s your mother’s favourite tipple? Gin or prosecco? Either make a great gift and the shops are full of gift sets at this time of year that make an easy purchase.
This is the time of year to get warm and cosy, indoors or out. A warm scarf, in a pattern that mum will love, makes a great gift. Pretty pyjamas or comfy slippers also make a good gift. A beautiful throw or blanket to suit the décor and a really nice box of chocolates complete the perfect set up for a Christmas TV marathon.
Candles & nice soaps or bubble bath can transform a bath into a spa retreat. Follow them up with skincare products. Some mums would kill for a few moments alone. Buy her a bathrobe and offer some childcare, if you dare!
Nushi has some great cosmetic bags that could be filled with treats for your mum and will last long after Christmas. We also have gift sets with candles & soap.
Jewellery is always a welcome gift, particularly for making Christmas extra special. Depending on your mum’s taste, sparkly gifts can include necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.
We couldn’t make a list of gifts for mum without a handbag appearing somewhere. Handbags make a great gift for mums, and we have a wide range to choose from, so you can definitely find one that mum is happy with. Pop a notebook or a 2020 diary into the bag for an extra treat.
One of these ideas is sure to be the perfect gift for your mum. Happy Christmas shopping!
]]>Cosmetic bags are always welcome to keep those endless quantities of small makeup items in one place. You might even want to fill the cosmetic bag up with a treat or two, to make sure the recipient is extra happy this Christmas.
The weather man is promising us the return of the 'beast from the east' so snap up a scarf (or two) in warm faux fur. Our animal print scarf will brighten up a classic black outfit.
Our pencil cases come in a range of animal prints and if the budget allows, pop some stationery into the pencil case for a super student you know.
Going out for New Year? You'll need a small evening bag to take with you - just big enough for phone, purse and keys.
We've got a choice of velvet clutch purses, one is a delightful sky blue velvet and the other soft cappuccino. If animal print is your favourite, we have small wrist bags in animal print or you can opt for a neutral grey.
Can't decide? We know, handbags are such a personal choice. If all else fails, pop a gift voucher into the basket and we'll send you a discount code that can be redeemed against any bag in the store.

I don’t know about you but I always seem to get in a muddle at airports! The added complication of suitcases which have the habit of tripping me up, hand luggage, children and of course navigating your way through all of the various stages before sitting in your seat; send me nearly into meltdown. That is why having a bag that easily pops over your suitcase handle which holds passports etc., keeps your hands free for everything else you need to control and manoeuvre.
My colleague announced this morning that she is off on one of her much loved cruises and that made me think about what would be the best type of bag to take with you. After much discussion and a little research, it seems the trusty tote bag is a must have staple, especially one with a front pocket so that you can safely stow away your sea-pass card.
The best bag for me by a country mile would be a crossbody bag with plenty of pockets to keep your valuables close at hand yet safe. Giving you the confidence to venture into busy markets to pick up that essential holiday bargain.
Bags with personality are a must - brightly coloured stripes, block colours, patterns and motifs…. you are on holiday so anything goes! A beach bag which is lightweight, fold-able has pockets and plenty of room for all of your beach essentials.

A lot of the fashion this autumn still reflects the 70s feeling of the summer with paisley patterns and flowing sleeves in taupe, tan and brown shades. These are accented with lovely plum, peach and cream tones for tops and jumpers and the cowl neck seems to be back in a big way (literally). Another noticeable feature is corduroy, of course, a classic 70s material.
In summer you can get away with a small crossbody bag or purse to hold makeup and phone, but as the days get colder you need a few more accessories; hair accessories to cope with windy wet days, lipsticks and moisturisers, and most importantly room for a scarf and cardigan to save lugging it around when the weather fluctuates.
Tote bags and roomy messenger bags are perfect for this crossover season and luckily we produce them in the perfect fabrics for the autumn season; British tweed, brown corduroy, neutral waxed cotton, hounds tooth check and animal prints. We even have waterproof rubber handbags recycled out of tractor tyres.
Our handbags are lined in fun fabrics including travel prints, ditsy daisies, paisley patterns and vibrant stripes. We also have machine washable removable bag linings (which we will make to fit your handbag) in taupe, gold, grey, black, purple, blue and red. These are perfect for when you spill something in your bag or just want to give it a refresh. We hand make everything so if you have a specific idea, tell us about it.
