Giovanni Scafuro is an italian artist who began to work in artisans shops where he learned and applied the art of these amazing manual trades to create complementary furnishings.

Daily use objects change image! He says “this is a change of route in object’s life, thanks to recycle and reuse concept”. His true love goes to forks and so he’ve created jewels and house furnishing reusing them.

Objects and materials are for Giovanni an inexhautible source of inspiration and life interpretation: his manufactoring is in continuous metamorphosis, indeed… in progress!

And now Have a look at Giovanni Scafuro’s website

Old television sets may not seem an obvious source of material for dressmaking and millinery, but Alison Bailey Smith, who has lived in Australia, Canada, San Francisco and England uses colorful recycled wire from electrical appliances as the basis for much of her work, which includes boxes, jewelry, lampshades, and clothing.

Alison loves to organize workshops to show everyone how to turn old waste wire – mostly from old televisions – into FashionArt and this is amazing!

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.

To find out more details have a look at Fashion Handibags photos and enjoy to create your own recycle bag! We always wait for your photos, videos and ideas.
Have a creative life,

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

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:
