What is it, what isn't it? We are swimming in the river with everyone else, working to make a living and keep our creative juices flowing. We strive to reuse as much as possible, and want to see money stay local, creeks stay clean (here and in China too), and people on their bikes. We make things that last, and we're proud of what we make. If you buy something from us and it has a problem, let us know and we'll make it right.
Zeeko Salvage is a collective. We are a married couple living, scrounging and sewing together. Many of our items are co-created; we like making lots of different things - that's why we have a variety of products to offer.
Zeke Lunder started out making farmer's market bags out of chicken feed sacks in 2004. Erika Dietrich Lunder learned to sew and make clothes from her grandmother, and worked as a clothing designer from 2005 to 2007.
Zeeko Salvage formed when we met and began collaborating on a line of purses and totes from feed sacks and mylar-printed Hindu comics. Lately we have been working with fire hose, firefighting surplus, inner tube, and leather, but we'll work with just about anything that can fit thru an industrial sewing machine.
We are a micro-scale DIY industry. The two of us do the sewing, repair our own machines and make as many tools and parts as we can. We sell online, at Chikoko sponsored events in Chico, California, and at the August 'Prepare for the Playa' Street Fair in San Francisco. Feel free to contact us if you have an idea for a custom bag. {Email Us}
