Handmade Handbags

It seems like everyone's getting back to basics these days—from all-natural diets to deodorant, so why not ask Mother Nature for some accessories? The new brand Nahui Ollin is named after an ancient Aztec prophecy meaning movement and rebirth. Inspired by this concept, they transform unconventional materials like recycled candy wrappers and soft drink labels into handmade handbags, and accent the creations with leather, silver, gemstones, wood and other products. They have already come up with over 60 combinations of style, color and finish, but also offer customized designs and personalized detailing like handles, zippers and charms. From simple black and brown (perhaps Twix bar-derived) clutches to more eccentrically colored totes, each bag is not only made with excellent craftsmanship, but is also a truly one-of-a-kind accessory. When it comes to fashion, history certainly repeats itself... but an entirely reincarnated product? Get your hands on it now, before it turns back into a Pepsi can.
