About Alchemy Goods
We are based in Boulder, Colorado and have been designing and manufacturing products from upcycled materials for over 20 years. By repurposing materials like used bike tubes, banners, climbing rope, and factory scraps, we give waste a second life as durable, functional products. Our lineup includes backpacks, messenger bags, belts, wallets, travel kits, pouches, and more. Every product is thoughtfully designed and made locally in Colorado, combining sustainability, craftsmanship, and unique materials to create gear with a story.
Ag History
People say that “necessity is the mother of invention,” and that’s exactly the way Alchemy Goods got started. My messenger bag got stolen and I needed another one. But the perfect messenger bag eluded me.
There were always extra inner tubes lying around my apartment, and I realized that I could probably build the perfect bag out of stuff I already had. The first prototype was born on my home sewing machine. It wasn’t perfect, but it was exactly what I needed.
Soon, my friends wanted their own. Then local bike shops caught a glimpse and expressed interest. Each bag improved over the last. Thanks to my friends, demand grew and grew, which led to the founding of Alchemy Goods.
So to whoever it was that stole my bag...you were the inspiration for my imagination. Thank you.
Recycling Your Inner Tubes
The inner tubes in our goods are reclaimed from cyclists and bike shops across the country. Do you ride or know someone who does?
Your local bike shop can participate in our inner tube recycling program. Ask your local dealer if they are participating.
We are always happy to take boxes of tubes (not tires) addressed to us. Contact the Recycling Coordinator if you have any questions about recycling your inner tubes.
Custom products and private labeling
We custom-manufacture unique upcycled products from used advertising banners and reclaimed inner tubes. We can manufacture from materials you provide or private-label items from our existing product line. Let us help with your next product, event, or festival!
