How much do tubs and buckets made from recycled tires cost? In Morocco, a pittance. In Exorbitant Design World (EDW), they cost $40 for a “Rubber Shopping Bag” and $60 for a “Large Rubber Tote.”
Visit the culprits, the French design firm of Tadé, and marvel. They don’t have prices – those were mentioned in the latest issue of Blueprint magazine.
If I see anyone using these, I’ll have to laugh – my husband says that only manual laborers and poor people use them in Morocco – god love the little snob.
Note : Now he says that they use them in the men’s hammam, too!
