To design this pre-owned camo bag, I used circles reclaimed from an African dress, the quote from a t-shirt and the stripes from a pant. I imagined all those colors together with the cobalt blue embroidery thread as a beautiful combination. I replaced the hardware and straps for more comfortable green leather ones.

It was hand-embroidered by Adriana Zapata during 7 hours of craftwomanship in Medellin, Colombia.

All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind, designed by repurposing materials and supporting craftwomanship. Find out more about my story here
