About the Designers
Vy & Elle™ (a play on the word "vinyl") was founded in 2002 by two designers who are dedicated to eco-conscious products. Nicola Freegard and Robin Janson have been designing award-winning products for the past decade, and their products represent the blending of urban hip with a strong social awareness of the environment.
The designers' philosophy includes the vision of renewal through reclaimed resources. By refashioning giant images produced by a disposable culture into smaller individual works of art, their products make a strong personal statement of style for their owners, and a stronger voice about sustainability. Their goal is to educate through recycling, contribute through community involvement, and assist businesses and consumers in making more environmentally-conscious choices.
Why Use Vinyl Billboards?
Vinyl billboards are used nationwide as temporary banner advertisements and are usually discarded into landfills where they create toxic pollution, but the strength of PVC vinyl makes it an ideal material for reuse. And because of the different images printed on the vinyl, it's even more interesting as a fabric. It offers colorful graphics that take urban art into everyday living. Each bag and accessory item has it's own unique look without the high designer price. With random colors and designs, every bag made is different, offering a chance to carry a piece of art on a shoulder, in a pocketbook or in the home.
To date, Vy & Elle™ has recycled some forty tons of billboard vinyl. This project is helping to reduce waste in our landfills and encourages recycling programs within the billboard industry.
