The Let Them Stare tote bag is an exploration of possibilities for aesthetics in post-consumer materials. Made from old drapes, and old paintings, the tote bag adds a statement to an outfit that says up-cycling can be at the forefront of style.

In this day and age, it is imperative to look at up-cycled materials, which is a process involving recycling material in a way that adds value to the item, as a way of tackling the massive amount of waste products produced by our current system of industrialized fashion. Handmade, up-cycled items provide the unique opportunity for truly unique accessories that showcase one's individual style better than something that one could find in a store.
