Store outside Missoula!

Hey all, good news! We are now in Planet Earth on Central Avenue in Great Falls and will soon be in Frayed Sew in Helena. Keep your fingers crossed, more stores should be coming soon.

We want your tubes and banners

Hello all, thanks for all the great support. We are doing well but could use more materials. So if you have old inner tubes or vinyl banners lying around, please let us know so we can recycle them for you.

Billboard Banner Products

We are excited to present two new products, the B3 & Bbc. Thanks to George Lake, a local Missoula advertiser, we have procured a retired billoard banner and are making clutches and handbags. A few samples follow.

Retail Update

Just a quick update on our retail. We now have products for sale at Strongwater, and The Baby Boutique in Missoula.

We are looking to expand throughout Montana. If you own a business and would be interested in carrying our product(s), please contact Donovan. If you know of anyone who might want our product, please point them our way.

We are in stores

As of today, my brilliant partner, Amber, has gotten our line of wallets placed in several retail establishments around Missoula. Both Big Sky Bikes and Fitness locations, Rockin’ Rudy’s and four Missoula Tire Ramas, now have Retread in stock. Prices are the same as the website, but without the shipping.

Bring us your boxes

We’ve decided to print all of our business cards and promotional materials on post consumer cardboard. Therefore, we are looking for your old cereal, pizza or any other boxes that are:
IMG_2007

  • non corrugated
  • white, brown or gray inside
  • printed cardboard but free of print on the inside
  • at least 7.25” by 9” on the largest side (most cereal boxes)
If you have any, we would sure like to recycle them for you. Just bring them by headquarters at 818 Ash and we will do the rest. (Yes we are a home based operation for now Happy).


Off we go...

After many starts and fits, Retread is official. Three products, the Hype, Slim and Fold are in production. We also have numerous prototypes in design, and should be adding to our line soon.

We hope to be in stores by Halloween. In the meantime, you can purchase directly from this site.
