We’ve got you Kovered! 🎒✨

Kovered makes durable, practical bags inspired by British landscapes, rivers and adventure.

Made using reclaimed and recycled materials without any damage to our environment:

“This is our way of preserving the landscapes and waterways.
Each bag is named after a British river, reflecting our connection to the places that inspire us.
We make bags — not campaigns. But if Britain’s rivers are part of our brand, we believe they’re worth paying attention”.

Kovered also aim to spread the awareness that sewage pollution remains a very real problem in our beautiful rivers. Please visit their website for more information and how you can help.

Pop in to The Shakk (back of Mayson’s building, 33 Lake Road, Keswick) and take a look at the range in store 👀

📍Keswick, Cumbria

One of 7 stores in the UK that stock the Official Amazonas Tarp Hat Co.

These hats are made in Brazil from recycled canvas tarpaulins which were used on trucks moving goods around Brazil.
Every Tarp hat is a one off , no two are the same. Every hat has its own unique character. They are made from various colours of materials,some may have patches,seams, repaired holes, or even Portuguese writing. These hats are hand crafted stitched and sewn by Brazilian villagers in the Amazonas region of Brazil.

Because the tarpaulins were designed to protect its contents from the rough elements in Brazil, they make perfect covers to shield your cabeça (that's head in Portuguese) from the hot summer sun or British rain!

Every characteristic of an Amazonas Brazilian Wide Brim Tarp Hat tells a story of its prior life lived as a lonely truck tarp and reveals its journeys through the harsh elements in equatorial Brazil….what stories will you create to continue your Tarp’s journey? 🤩
