refind (and refined) handbags

Refind_leatherpurses
this lady is going places! she deconstructs, cleans and restores discarded leather apparel and upholstery and recycles it into these flat-out gorgeous handbags! every item is completely unique. concerned about the disposable mentality of our current culture, she found a way to reduce waste and beautify the world at the same time. a wide variety of styles and leathers, including a kids' "WOOF" pack that's absolutely adorable. i hope she'll be able to keep up with the demand...these are certain to sellout fast. you can even send her your own old leather coat/garment, and she'll refashion it into a stunning new handbag for you! Indie Designer: Anita Hopper

$185-250 from refind originals
