Richmond VA December 12, 2004 -- Passchal Products, LLC. was formed in May 2004 in Richmond, VA by Ken Kobrick and Angela Greene. Passchal recycles used truck and tractor inner tubes into fashionable handbags.

Ken and Angela collect the inner tubes from local tire centers after they have been discarded. Over 75% of the work to prepare the inner tubes and assemble the bags is done by hand in Richmond, VA. Passchal has invested in industrial equipment necessary to finish the products. All designs and manufacturing is done locally by Ken and Angela.

The styles are simple, yet couture and functional for daily use. One unique feature of the bags is a state of the art "Smartlyle" system, which activates an internal light when the bag is opened. Now tasks like finding your keys is a cinch.
