ReFind
Originals' creator, Anita Hopper, had the idea that by repurposing
outdated leather apparel and upholstery, she could combine her love of
sewing with her interest in recycling to make handbags which would not
only be beautiful, but also environmentally friendly. She fashions
one-of-a-kind, buttery-soft handbags and backpacks out of discarded
leather and other fabrics, giving new life to old garments. Some of the
bags are adorned with wooden buckles, handmade from recycled wood
scraps. Others are decorated with vintage buttons or buckles. Owning a
ReFind Originals bag is not only a fun and unique way to carry your
essentials, but it's a refined way to demonstrate that greener choices
in our everyday lives can be beautiful!
ReFind
Originals is committed to using recycled materials in the creation of
every handbag that bears their name. They're concerned about the
disposable mentality that has destroyed so much of the environment and
see their work as a small way to make a difference in the world by
reducing waste, reusing beautiful materials that would otherwise be
discarded, and recycling them into refined and unique purses and
handbags. ReFind Originals also celebrates beauty and enjoys creating
fun, one-of-a-kind works of art that women can carry.
