By buying recycled we close the loop that we start when we recycle our waste. Thanks to some extraordinarily creative people out there, our waste can become a desirable fashion statement. Take a look…
1. This Emmeline 4 Re recycled handbag is made in the UK out of fabrics and leather that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. £31 including postage.
