"We'd like to inspire people to create rather than waste."
Two Italian designers are turning items like cereal boxes and Amazon packaging into purses, and the results are couture-worthy
Rivituso, a product and pattern developer, and Bastiani, who specializes in leather goods prototype-making, formed a leather goods design studio Camera60 in Milan, Italy, in 2011.
Recently, though, they started what Rivituso calls their upcycle project, where they use their leather expertise to give new life to ordinary supplies and materials.
"It was all about experimentation and making bags from unusual materials," Rivituso said. "Our intention was to reuse plastic stuff in a different way, and we wanted to bring the craftmanship of leather goods into everyday objects."

Head to that site to see some of there other really cool upcycled projects. I think the Nike one (above) and the Corn Flakes one are my 2 favorites.
Of course, I really shouldn't be caught carrying either one. Maybe the lovely Mrs. Honnold will though? :)
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
