Poketo Upcycled Suit Totes

S
If I had enough of wearing some clothes, chances that either it'll go straight to the Oxfam 'Clothes Bank' in front of my college or I'll put it in a binliner in front of my house for some people from the charity to come and collect it. Or give it to my landlady, Ana, for her to sell the 'vintage clothes' at the Sunday market. Easy peasy. But now I think I might change my mind coz unwanted clothes can actually be reused to make something very interesting indeed.

Like these tote bags by Poketo. They're called Upcycled Suit totes which are made 100% from vintage wool suits and cotton or silk shirts. Even the handles are from reused material that came from reclaimed old leather sofas. Oh, the totes have their own names which refers to the name of Hollywood stars, like Clooney (from you know who), Bogart, Adrian (from Adrian Brody), Jude (Jude Law) and Richard (Richard Wright, famous American writer), among others. They're one of its kind, so don't expect you find similar tote to the guy next to you.

Each unique Suit Tote can store laptop, and other daily essentials. The good thing is, you're not only saving the environment because you've flagged the 'Recycle, Reuse, Regenerate' banner, but you also contribute to the charity too. Coz, all profits are donated to eco-awareness programs in Korea and abroad.

Price? $250 each. They aren't cheap, I know... but they're one of its kind. If you don't wanna pay the price, then use your old suit and start making your own! :)
