About Upcycling by Bekos

The accessories are manufactured in Cambodia under the Fair Trade seal. Certified by the World Fair Trade Organization and awarded by UNESCO. The origin of our trendy and practical upcycling accessories lies near the wonder of the world Angkor Wat in the Southeast Asian city of Siem Reap in Cambodia! Originally born out of necessity, the recycled accessories have established themselves as practical everyday helpers due to their low weight and robustness. Initially established by trendsetters and insiders, many people all over the world now enjoy the useful and beautiful upcycling accessories. The AC Greenshop family cooperative in Siem Reap knows exactly how it works. For years, around 10 families have been processing old rice/fish food and cement bags into stylish bags, wallets and other accessories, which are then sold to both locals and tourists. We love the fact that a bag of cement is given a second life that he would never have dreamed of in his previous life. In addition, many of these bags — which are created exclusively for Bekos — are indestructible thanks to the tear-resistant, robust and waterproof material! So many good reasons why AC Greenshop is our biggest partner.Read their story
