Just rubber tubes, hands, scissors, a pincer and a lot of creativity and imagination. This is what is behind the Zuss dresses, which are not only a fashion statement, but also a physical delight. The Zuss Fashion Design in The Netherlands was started by two sisters Virgo Goddess Krijnie and Christa in 1997. Since then the house has been producing eye-catching hot couture from old rubber tubes that make a bold fashion statement.

Rubber from motorcycle and bicycle tubes is transformed into stylish and cool dresses. Everything from a hole to every lace to every knot is handcrafted. Since it is handcrafted, every piece is only one of a kind. The designers see their work as a tribute and contribution to Mother Nature. This whole process of sewing and wearing rubber tube dresses and accessories is sensational.
