They say, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Handbag designer Mary Myers has now turned fashion don’ts into fashion do’s. She has created a luxury handbag line, Novella Royale, named after her daughter. Novella Royale uses vintage leather jackets for her bags to prevent producing waste that’s created from using new materials. Each jacket is carefully selected from vintage stores and warehouses in the Los Angeles area. Myers, a former accessories designer, wanted to start her own handbag line after the birth of her daughter. After realizing how much waste there was in the world she thought she should recycle. And that she did! Though the jackets and leather used in her bags are used they are transformed into one-of-a-kind creations. Each bag is lined with organic fabric and then Myers goes to work on the accoutrements. All of the custom trims are cast in Los Angeles as well so the bags are a full Angeleano creation. Whether you want a fabulous handbag to match your outfit or you just want to help the environment, you can look stylish and save the Earth with Novella Royale 7/12/2010
