What do you do with old seat belts?
Make a gorgeous handbag!
Conserve is an artisan group that we work with India, who SPECIALIZES in recycling! Every bag and wallet they produce comes from a previous use, from plastic bags to tire inner tubes.
One product in particular that we’re currently IN LOVE with here at the store, is the new Recycled Seat Belt bee hive bag:
Woven recycled black and taupe straps make this bag SUPER stylish and unique! Plus, it fits over the should with ease; a must in a good bag!
But what makes this bag really beautiful is all the good work it’s going to support!
Conserve India not only supports recycling, which their country desperately needs, but it also provides their artisans with access to medical care and a school for over 200 children!
Living in the slums of Delhi, these are both “luxuries” that would never have been an option to these artisans before.
In Conserve’s own words:
Born of a desire to reduce India's rubbish mountain, improve energy efficiency, and help some of Delhi's poorest out of the city's slums, Conserve India achieves all this by turning plastic bags into high fashion.
By buying a Conserve bag, belt, wallet, shoe, or necklace, you not only get to be a trend setter with a beautiful, funky piece of high fashion - you will also be helping some of India's poorest people and its environment.
We are so thankful, grateful, and excited to have NEW ITEMS from Conserve in our store now, and feel humbled by what their organization provides for it’s artisans.
Reason # 4,326 to support Fair Trade!
