Nuhui Ollin
Nahui Ollin handbags are entirely hand-made by specially folding and weaving individual candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels that are factory rejects from independent manufactures and have never been used. These 'surplus' materials are diverted away from landfills to be made into the funkiest accessories by independent families in Mexico under fair-wage conditions.
The hottest new trend is right in front of your nose... authentic 60s and 70s vintage sunglasses. They can't be imitated.
