~reBORN*







... ASHLEY WATSON and her team handcraft one-of-a-kind leather products using exclusively recycled material. She began designing handbags with recycled leather, inspired by the original features of soft and gently worn jackets purchased from charity thrift stores. She ultimately incorporates these features, such as pockets and seams, into each unique bag or wallet design. ~Fabulousss...I think worn-leather is even yummier no?!

PS: Happy Birthday to my dear sister! She is sharing her birthday with Sir Isaac Newton today... Most importantly, she also kicked cancer's ass 3 years ago! So very blessed to be alive & well~Woo-Hoo!!!

  38. Happy birthday (and congrats on smacking down cancer) to your sis. May she live a long, full, and adventurous life!

    Recycled leather is the best. It's got such a history to it... makes it that much more gorgeous, in my opinion.

    Here's to hoping you had a lovely New Year's celebration and that you have a fantastic 2010!
