Like your arm candy fashion forward?

Hi everyone,

 

As the title says "Like your Arm Candy Fashion forward?" I discovered a site that also used recyclable materials to make bags and other accessories.

One of my reasons for the love of this new trend is that they are something much more than any handbag or clutch, they have been made not to tailor the customers needs but also to tailor the earths needs of recycling materials that can be used again and again...

I really like this accessory trend because you can combine a bunch of different textures and materials to enhance your look and/or give your outfit the colour that it needs without having to change clothes.

Nahui Ollin (pronounced now-we-oh-lean) is the actual branding of these Candy Wrapper Bags. Each Candy Wrapper Bag is individually and carefully hand woven and constructed from a very ancient, nearly forgotten, Mayan technique. It is a technique of folding and the intricate weaving and sewing together of the candy wrapper, comic, or newspaper cut offs.It can take up to four thousand candy wrappers and up to four days to make one unique Candy Wrapper Handbag.

When purchasing a Nahui Ollin (Candy Wrapper Handbag) you are truly purchasing one of a kind piece. All the arm candy bags are produced under Fair Trade and Sweatshop free practices in Mexico. Every sale this site makes helps support local artisans who rely on this trade to care for their land and their families.

Designed in New York and made in Mexico, make one of these Nahui Ollin (arm candy, Candy Wrapper Bag) part of your eco friendly wardrobe and know that like the arm candy bags you are unique in every way.
