Fashion Handibags are a joy, but you want something different from everyone else – without it costing the earth. At Handibags we give you just that, all our Handbags are unique, one-off creations and we make everything from recycled fabrics so it doesn’t cost the Earth!

“The nature of the recycled fabrics that come my way means that every ‘Handibag’ is a one-off, it might be possible to get two bags from a piece of fabric but they are never the same because of the trimmings, linings, handles and so on. I spend a lot of time sourcing unusual fabrics to recycle and reuse, I enjoy the challenge of making the most of the fabrics I find” says the Handibags staff.

“I like my weatherproof items to be cosy and warm as well as water-resistant, but it’s still relatively tricky to find a pair of boots that have sufficient insulation” says Stephanie Sabbe and that’s why she realized a simple tutorial to create the warmest shoes ever.

There’s nothing better than lots of colour splashes on your dress to put you in a good mood!

Fernando Brizio Fernando Brizio

Fernando Brizio is a talented product designer from Portugal, responsible for some of the most creative recycled art and fashion.
Like this Felt-tip Pens Dress: by meticulously inserting coloured felt-tip pens, nib down, into a white dress fitted with little pockets, the ink is bleeds into the fabric in a sequence of splodges. The idea behind the dress is that the owner slips the pens into the pockets herself just before entering the party or whatever she’s attending and bursting into messy bloom. As you can see the felt tip pens are inserted in the small pockets of the dress. Within an hour – to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. The owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.
Watch this video by Fernando explaining how it’s done:
