Bags

Stylish, different, eco-friendly

The Green Bag Collection

Magazine pages are given new life. Upcycled and repurposed, they are now turned into fashionable and functional handbags. Completely handmade, each bag is different and comes with a chain shoulder strap.

Using a unique weaving method, each woven square of the bag’s body has the strength of 16 pieces of paper.

The bags are coated with a water-based varnish on the outside as well as on inside to make them water resistant. So go green, have fun and stand out!

These one-of-a-kind handbags are not only stylish but are conversation pieces. Large enough to fit your iPhone, wallet, keys and some makeup items, each sling bag is made from a particular issue of a magazine.

Upcycling is “The practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value”. The term was coined in the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart.

Repurposing is to change (something) so that it can be used for a different purpose – Merriam-Webster Dictionary
