We use recycled chicken feed sacks for a lot of things at ZeekoBag. It is abundant, incredibly strong, and sews well. Here are some wallets that Erika made for the Chikoko Holiday Faire. These wallets are all gone, but we have a few similar ones at 'Made in Chico'.
ZeekoBag started with a bunch of market and tool bags made from Chicken feed sacks. In 2008 we got into using scraps of graphics printed on mylar in our designs, and did a series of bags using maps and graphics designed by Zeke, and Hindu comics from Erika's childhood.
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}
