Recycle Fashion Friday

I absolutely love fashions made from recycled materials. So, I'm starting a new trend called Recycle Fashion Friday. Every Friday I will post an etsy store or blog where the artist is using recycled or upcycled materials to create fashion.

My first post is a handbag made from recycled vintage ties with an Ohio State theme.










What a wonderful idea. This purse was created by She-Su Designs. This etsy store also has a wide variety of fashion items such as hats, accessories, scarfs and clothing.

According to the shop's profile, the designer wants to limit the amount textiles that end up in the landfills. Check out her shop and support the designer.

Thanks, Lydia

A Great Idea Using Recycled Materials for Clothes

I really love when recycled materials are used for making clothes.

This is a video of a woman in Chile who uses cigarette butts to make yarn, and then turns the yarn into fashion.



I wonder what else we can use just by looking at the world with different eyes?
