Recycled vinyl, car seat leather and pleather, seat belts, bike and truck inner tubes, and truck tarps. It’s hard to believe that these discarded materials could be upcycled into super stylish eco-bags. Mariclaro is a design collective of Mexican, German and Canadian artists, working to create functional and aesthetically appealing products from recycled materials while simultaneously reducing waste in landfills.
“All Mariclaro bags are 99% recycled (the 1% is made up of thread and our logo; still not available recycled),” explains Sven Schlegel from the design collective. “Every bag made by Mariclaro is a unique design, cut and sewn by hand. They are all stamped with a serial code which marks their unique identity.”
The Mariclaro Store is located at 457 Roncesvalles Ave., Toronto, Canada. Visit: www.mariclaro.ca
