Linwei Zheng, an accessory designer, combines her passion for ecological sustainability and animal ethics in her innovative creations. She repurposes discarded car tires, animal hides, and bones to explore their untapped potential. Linwei's designs include innertube bags and eyewear, showcasing the elasticity and versatility of the material. Additionally, she works with animal materials, utilising full leather, offcuts, and discarded bones, inspired by the belief that every part of the animal should be valued. Linwei aims to reshape attitudes towards animal materials, promoting sustainability and ethical practices in the industry. Her work celebrates the craftsmanship associated with these often-underappreciated resources, envisioning a future where humans and animals coexist harmoniously.
