Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Circle Cook Islands
I'm Sabine, widely known around Rarotonga as the Eco Warrior, and I've spent over 20 years on this island doing my small part to make it a little bit better. From my upcycling studio, I turn everyday waste (bike inner tubes, plastic wrappers, drink cans, inflatables and more) into handmade bags, jewellery and art. Come join me for one of my hands-on workshops. You'll leave with something truly one of a kind, made right here in Rarotonga.

"I've called Rarotonga home for over 20 years, and this island gives so much; I just want to give something back. Every bag, accessory and piece of art I create starts as waste that would've ended up in landfill. I can't change the world, but I can make it a tiny bit better."
Sabine - Owner
