UPCYCLED!

I love Mapusa – a funky line of clothes and accessories upcycled from vintage saris.

 

This playful upcycled collection is a homage to India’s unique bhandiwalla system which is an informal exchange system involving a community of traders who travel from door to door across India’s villages and cities trading utensils for old clothes and saris.

 

Just as the system thrives on recycling, German-born designer Miriam Strehlau, designed a collection that is versatile, gender fluid and suitable for all wardrobes.
