From Clothing to Purses–Recycling at it's best

 

3-purple-huipils

Pictured above are three lovely women from Guatemala who are very talented artisans, making many of our lovely purses and wallets. And if their clothing looks familiar, then you have a very good eye!

Yes! These artisans use RECYCLED shirts and skirts to make purses and bags, just as beautiful as when they were worn!

The lovely corte fabric from the skirts make super cute and stylish handbags, and the embroidery on the shirts never goes to waste!
