Upcycling factor aside, these handbags are awesome in size as well as fashion statements.  Each is one of a kind and made from repurposed Japanese obis (komono sashes).  The handle is custom made from birch ply, laser cut locally for Grace Designs in California.  The backing is a micro fibre solid red ultra suede and the bag is lined with unbleached cotton.

The two bags pictured here retail for $125 each @ grace design
