Paper Dress by The Voguettes

Your new handbag – chic and green

     The garage, the grocery story, the pharmacy, the hardware store, your grandparents’ attic – these might not be the first places you think of when you need new fashion accessories.  But these are some of the places where young designers form  the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design (www.ksa.edu.pl) have found materials to create their unique handbags.

     The final results are playful and original but also elegant, smart and attractive. All were crafted from things such as vinyl records, cans, and soup boxes.  These old objects which seem useless and whose only destination is a trash bin have been transformed into stylish pieces. The designed handbags are not only an excellent demonstration of students’ creativity but they also show their concern for the environment and interest in recycling. With the designs students demonstrated that nothing is too useless to be transformed into high fashion and that we don’t need to pay big money to have  accessories that are original and stand out in a crowd.

Organic for Everyone: Retailers Can Make Green Clothing Affordable & Accessible to the Average Consumer

Today, many products including food, clothing, and furniture, are made in a sustainable and organic way. However, not all of these products are accessible and affordable to the average American.
