Customers who love vans quite literally 'love their trainers to pieces', even though the trainers are built to last, they, unfortunately, aren't built to last forever - despite this customers will wear the trainer until the last bit of fabric has fallen and the same goes for skateboard, they skate until they can't anymore and this is where these services comes in - Patchwork vans uses broken skateboards and torn van trainers to create a new product for customers. Saving materials and helping the environment by letting Vans products live a longer life and not a life in landfills.
