the folks at relan are hard at work reinventing style ("re" + "élan"). the minneapolis enterprise cleans, irons and sews tennis court-sized billboards (that would otherwise end up in landfills) into hip, functional, eco-savvy sacks. handles and bases also come from reclaimed material: car tires.

relan recycles eight tons of water- and tear-resistant highway signs a year to create these one-of-kind bags. you'll never look at a billboard the same way again!

color: will vary (no two are alike)
material: recycled billboard vinyl
special features: cushiony fleece divider (removable for washing) and shoulder strap. designed for makeup artists, these bags are included in the student kits at minneapolis's aveda institute. now you can have one, too!
