Wednesday, May 19, 2010 The month of May is all about the Indy 500 Race when you live in Indianapolis. ReFind Originals is all about recycling leather all the time. This month I have made these five unique black and white handbags from recycled women's motorcycle jackets. The jackets were prototypes for a women's line of motorcycle apparel and were destined for the trash bin until Tiina Perttu, owner of
She-Moto, a company based in Holland,MI that sells Italian made women's motorcycle apparel, found out about ReFind Originals. She went to the trouble to contact me to see if I could use the jackets, boxing them up, and having a friend of hers who lives in Indianapolis bring them to my door! I can use almost any leather that is going to be discarded to make one of a kind handbags and accessories. This is just one example. These bags will be sold at
Enroute Spa at the Indianapolis International Airport for $85 each.
