Recycling clothes into wallets

Upcycle means transforming. Even in France, designers like AnneCecileCREATION are becoming increasingly interested in this ecological approach. For more than 6 years, the soft leather brand selects clothes of all colors on markets, collection centers, thrift stores, recycling centers (including relay, specialized in clothing) or yard sales. Wallets and handbags thus retain the authenticity and originality of these second-hand skins, which are given a second life thanks to a selection of the most beautiful parts of the garment: no worn or grated pieces. Used parts to the bin, but like natural skin, best parts allow to get incredible colors.

The recuperation means rethinking and reusing these jackets, pants or shirts forgotten in the closet. clothes to
Upcycle is the operation of transformation into a new product, a valorization from the preserved material, even embellished with the years.

The capacity of this material to last is incredible. It renews itself, maintains itself like the skin. A godsend, to give it to the taste of the day, to make live again a fashion

Recycled leather and textiles

Everything starts with scissors. It's a manual work, the creator does everything herself. It’s necessary to remove the lining, to sort out the soft leathers, to throw away the too tanned leathers, to emphasize the suede leathers well to choose the preserved parts. In addition to the leather, the textile, the cotton of the shirts in particular, is sometimes chosen to be even more ecological.
Some of our customers, very sensitive to the approach, offer to give us leather jackets. There is an intimate relationship with a garment that we have worn for years. We understand this, and we try as much as possible to avoid making you throw away such a beautiful material, full of so many memories. That's what circular fashion is all about

Vintage has style to leather

In my hands your old leather jacket finds a second youth. I give the material a second life in a trendy fashion accessory, a colorful wallet that will highlight leather. We reconcile the useful and the beautiful. A good deed for the planet by infusing the fashion economy with other values than the depletion of resources. Recycling also allows to optimize the cost of each unique creation. Each recycled leather is unique and therefore your wallet will also be unique and original. The motto of my brand echoes this approach that is called upcycling in the UK: ' "The second skin" '
