From Banners to Crossbody Bags: A New Chapter of Upcycling in the Collaboration Between 3.14BAN and Sphere
Upcycling accessories, conscious consumption, and creative eco-friendly design — these are the foundations of our collaboration with Sphere.
During our first joint project, we demonstrated how materials with a story can be given new life. Back then, we created waist bags from used banners (see the case), preserving the memory of events and supporting the idea of responsible use of resources.
Now, a new challenge has arrived — upcycling reflective armbands.
How the New Crossbody Bags with Reflective Elements Were Born
Reflective armbands, once used for safety at Sphere events, have now been given a second life thanks to the creative approach of 3.14BAN.We transformed them into practical crossbody bags designed according to the principles of conscious consumption and eco-friendly design.
The new functional bags retain the original safety idea through the integration of reflective details. They are compact, lightweight, spacious, and perfectly suited for active urban lifestyles.Each bag comfortably fits everyday essentials — a phone, wallet, and keys — while keeping your hands free and ensuring convenience throughout the day.
Why Upcycling Is More Than Just a Trend
At 3.14BAN, we believe that upcycling accessories is not just a fashion trend, but a meaningful way to rethink consumption.Material recycling offers the opportunity to:
- reduce waste,
- extend the lifecycle of products,
- create unique, meaningful items with character.
Our reflective crossbody bags are a perfect example of how aesthetics, practicality, and responsibility can be combined in every detail.
A Collaboration That Changes the World
Together with Sphere, we prove that even small steps — like upcycling armbands or banners — matter.Every upcycled accessory is a contribution to the culture of conscious consumption and a clear example of how responsibility and creativity can help change the world for the better.
We continue to explore new opportunities for upcycling banners, creating eco-conscious accessories, and developing joint initiatives with partners who share our values.
