inspirational link of the day: purses made from recycled suits

by Chloe on July 7th, 2008

This is such a cool idea! Mandy Curl from Mandinka Designs makes purses & handbags from old men’s suits - the purses are hip, modern and very carry-able… as well as Earth-friendly :-)

Go check out her work on Rayela’s Fiber Focus blog.

    They look really great. I am constantly making stuff from clothing. I have a pretty large pile of this waiting for me to create.

    This is a great way to reuse and renew!

    You are so right these are great and some of her other work is equally wonderful. I found someone else who likes wallpaper books. Small world.
