Our Materials

Car Seat Belts

With already saturated collection centers and landfills, Jaggery rescues material from the incinerator by carefully selecting end-of-life car seat belts and buckles that are rescued from auto scrap yards to create sustainable, well-designed products which are stylish, durable, easy to clean, and weatherproof.

Our Materials

Cargo Lashing Belts

Cargo lashing belts are used to lift, secure containers and other objects from tipping, horizontal movement and bouncing during the air journey. But once the belts have reached their end of life they are treated as industrial waste and end up in landfills. Jaggery rescues these decommissioned lashing belts that have been decoupled from metal parts and hand crafts them into products that are stylish and durable.

Our Values

Sustainability

At Jaggery, we are committed to creating products that promote sustainable development and reduce the environmental impact of waste. Through our innovative approach of repurposing car seat belts, we contribute to the circular economy by diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin materials.

Loved by

“I can not say enough wonderful things about my Serial Day tripper backpack! The quality is amazing and I love that it is handmade from upcycled materials. Also, the convenient top grab handle makes navigating with it through an airport so easy! I really love how Jaggery cares about the environment and their employees as well…they’re good people. And shipping from India to the United States was surprisingly fast! You’ve got a fangirl for life here!”

My husband, Yash, and I first heard of Jaggery through a friend from Delhi and it immediately left us intrigued. Yash has always loved using accessories that have a story, so when we came across Jaggery, we knew we had to get him something from there! I gifted him the Pervasive Backpack for our anniversary earlier this year and honestly to this day so many people have complimented the looks of the bag and have fallen in love with the 'Jaggery story'!

I got a car seat belt backpack from Jaggery. It’s my daily bag and conversation starter in every room I go to. The best part is it was customized to meet my requirements to make it a perfect fit for my daily needs. I highly recommend Jaggery to all the conscious people out there.
