Beautiful Handbags Made from Repurposed Coca-Cola Bottle Labels

These beautiful handbags are a result of a partnership between Coca-Cola and Ecoist, a Miami-based company that creates handbags out of waste material. Made from repurposed misprinted and discontinued bottle labels, the line is a classic, limited edition collection that is created by using few hundred to few thousand labels. Each item is handcrafted by skilled artisans of a fair trade women’s cooperative in Peru, through a proprietary method which involves cutting, folding, weaving and sewing.
In addition, the partnership between two companies claims to plant a tree for every bag sold.

Wall Mounted Bookshelf “Boomworm” Can Form Unlimited Shapes

Bookworm is a flexible bookshelf which can be mounted on a wall forming unlimited number of shapes. The curvy shape and the flexibility do not compromise its strength and durability, so that the shelf can withstand a load of up to 20 lbs. However, the manufacturer, Kartell strongly suggests maintaining a curvy shape in order to keep the materials in tension and to increase resistance.
Made of Batch-dyed fire-retardant PVC, the ‘Boomworm’ can be easily recycled, and comes in three different lengths – short (W 126″ H 7.5″ D 7.875″ + 7 bookends), Medium (W 204.75″ H 7.5″ D 7.875″ + 11 bookends) and Long (W 322.875″ H 7.5″ D 7.875″ + 17 bookends)
Manufacturer – Kartell, Designer – Ron Arad
