Fixers Umbrella Bags

People bring us tons of broken umbrellas from the street. Some we fix, some we recycle into these bags, which we sell as a fundraiser. They are $25, all of which helps us pay for the space we use. We will mail your bag to you for $2, or you can come pick it up.
Every bag is different, but they all have fixer’s patches covering the hole which used to be the center of the umbrella. And they all have stuff sacks in the lining, so you can bundle up the bag until you need it for your groceries, interesting literature someone gave you on the street, wild foods harvested from the park, etc.
Scroll down to see the bags we currently have in stock.
