Refashioned Bags: Upcycle Anything Into High-style Handbags | Justina Blakeney, Faith Blakeney
1 post | 1 read
Refashioned Bags is set to become the new bible for green-minded crafters who want unique bags without the price tag to match. From clutches to carryalls, from totes to handbags and beyond, these 25 ingenious projects poach from a myriad of every-day household materials and upcycles them into fabulous one-of-kind pieces - even the bathmat can find new life as a shoulder bag! Many of the projects are low-sew or no-sew and colour photographs and how-to illustrations accompany each project. Along the way, profiles of designers who work with recycled materials provide further inspiration.

2.5/5⭐ The instructions seem thorough and include diagrams. However, almost all of the projects look obviously DIY. Many just don't look nice at all, sometimes because of baffling materials like bubbled bath mats. I like the idea behind reusing suit coats and such but the executions don't impress me.
