Send On Upcycling

In her background as a climbing guide and outdoor education instructor, Tegan Luker saw a problem - Australia did not have a recycling solution for retired climbing equipment, so with that Send On Upcycling was born.  Creating fashion accessories and homewares from unusable rock-climbing gear, each product has been thoughtfully crafted to bring sustainability and elegance into our everyday lives.  Whether it’s a sophisticated satchel or chic rope hanger, the contemporary designs and vibrant colours ensure that every product is a statement piece in its own right.
