We love recycling, and so does Ashley Watson. The Vancouver based designer applies her master craftsman skills into remodelling old leather jackets found at thrift stores, into these beautiful handbags, wallets, and accessories. 


Most of the pieces are one-of-a-kind designs, incorporating features such as pockets and seams into each individual wallet or bag.


It’s amazing how much leather is thrown away or given to charity shops just because the style of the piece is out of fashion. 

In my opinion a material which deserves much more respect. The ethically nurturing characteristic of Ashley’s work is truly an admirable credit to her successful label.

    Those as some fashionable bags, any age could use it giving them the essence of being forever young. Wigs such as Lace Wigs, front lace wigs to be more specific would be a great companion to those bags that could further place an emphasis on a feel good fashion, filled with vibrant auras and colors.
