The Second Life Up-cycles Newspapers & Vinyl Records To Turn Them Into Pretty Stationery Products

If you adore browsing through stationery stores and can't resist buying everything you see, well then, you're officially a stationary junkie like us! So, we've found this eco-friendly webstore which is every stationery hoarder dream come true.

Ditch your regular brands or stores and shop from Bangalore-based sustainable brand - The Second Life. Started in 2011 by Rahul Khadaliya, the initiative began with an aim to build awareness of sustainability through its products. Sticking to vibrant options while focusing on eco-friendly methods and practices, their pieces are perfect if you like pretty and quirky stuff on your desk.

The Second Life has an amazing collection of recycled notebooks, tool kits, journals and more. They source their materials from waste vendors around the city and turn them into beautiful stationery goodies. Some of their products include block printed notebooks made with reused newspaper, paper and boards, upcycled tyre tube slim cardholders and pencils created with hand-dyed organic colours. We've also spotted everything from travelogues to planners and colourful diaries to multipurpose pouches in their collection.

We absolutely love their paper lanterns which come with a light holder and a filament bulb and is composed of waste paper boards and old vinyl records. With Christmas around the corner, these guys also stock some pretty gift wrapping paper made out of newspapers and film posters. They also have one-of-a-kind goodies like earphone organisers to ease the tangle of earphones (made of old tyre tubes). Besides Bangalore, The Second Life also delivers to other cities as well.
