Boy, those were the days.

Your jumps? Wicked cool. Your slides? Totally awesome. Your grinds? Radical, dude. And then circumstances beyond your control (i.e., adulthood, awareness of your own mortality) forced you to exchange your skateboard for a briefcase.

But you can still carry your board into the boardroom thanks to the Beck(y) clutch. Part of the line’s Sk8bags collection, this clever little accessory is made from recycled skateboards.

The deck is rid of its grip tape and washed thoroughly. No other changes are made. Except, of course, for the addition of new hardware (like nickel closures and silk satin linings) that creates a unique juxtaposition between the old and new.

Make a statement with it at your next business retreat. Employ it to impress the kids at the skate park. Or simply use it to dazzle the other young executives around the water cooler.

Either way, it’s just the thing to rebuild your aging street cred.

Without ever worrying about those youthful bruises.
