Recycled Billboard Bags

When São Paulo, Brazil banned all billboards, the city was left with piles of banner material. TOUCH and StraaT have gathered these materials and created a colorful, unique collection of tote bags. The totes are handmade by local artisans and the history and cultural context gives each bag a very unique character. See the site for all the assortment of totes available.
