Yves Saint Laurent “Muse Two Artisanal Recycled”

This is such a classic style and the recycled fabric looks like it has an amazing texture. What a wonderful creation.

i’ve been weaving plastic bags for years now

The iconic bag by Yves Saint Laurent is receiving an aesthetic update that’s globally conscious to boot. The “Muse Two,” one of the house’s most famous-ever designs got a chic makeover, thanks to the women of Burkina Faso, West Africa and their brilliant artisanal handiwork. Burkina Faso’s Gafreh Association, an organization led by women to bring women to self-sustainability, has developed a rare technique for producing a textile made solely out of recycled plastic bags and woven cotton (made at fair trade by YSL). Isn’t it incredible that old grocery bags and simple cotton could amount to a bag this divinely luxe? The fact that a mere sixty unique bags have been produced means the edition is even more special.

Women with resilience and innovation creating handbags for women of high style and high-awareness – I can’t think of a better union.
