My first impression of these tote bags were that they couldn’t be real. But they are very much real and hot!  They’re  made from second hand clothes. Each bag has a unique design.

They all contain a mixture of wool suiting materials, cotton shirts and even some silk. The handles are made from old leather sofa’s.

These bags are so stylish! There both perfect for men and woman.
