I recently enjoyed reading a wonderful feature and creative project by Jessica Haley on Joyfolie and thought you might find it inspiring too. Jessica was inspired by The Reusers Guide to Green Living to create some shoes from materials that would otherwise be discarded. The result was this collection of upcycled cuties.

The first pair in the collection {pictured above} are made from a bunch of brown plastic grocery bags from a local general store. The second pair {picture below} is made from a Starbucks Coffee Bag, and the final pair, sporting a bright red logo that is no doubt familiar to you, is made from a Target plastic shopping bag. Aren’t they amazing?!

Today’s feature is a celebration of rich winter colours, adorable dress patterns, old fashioned box pleating, and a healthy appreciation for the environment in which we live. These sweet petites are handmade by reborn in Hawkes Bay, NZ and are a lovely place to start on your hunt for adorable winter frocks.

The reborn collection is made from 100% recycled fabrics with a least five different patterns in each dress. Each creation is a one-of-a-kind and features box pleats on the front and a three button closure on the back.
