# Upcycled Cowhide Seating The ReMade USA Ottoman Recycles Leather Jackets By Renee Ramsarran | Published 2011-02-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remade-usa-ottoman References: [remadeusa.bigcartel](http://remadeusa.bigcartel.com/product/remade-cube-ottoman) & [remadeusa](http://remadeusa.com/index.html) The RemadeUSA Ottoman is a one-of-a-kind seat made from a used trench coat. Owner and founder Shannon South makes all of her leather products by hand from old jackets picked up at Goodwill. No two pieces look alike; South lets the unique details of her thrift store finds guide the final design. You can even send in your own jacket to be repurposed. The eco-friendly beanbag RemadeUSA Ottoman will add a vintage touch to your home décor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling:** Using discarded materials to create new products, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. - **Handmade Products:** The artisanal, handcrafted approach to manufacturing goods, offering unique one-of-a-kind designs. - **Customization:** Allowing customers to personalize products, adding value and creating a unique experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sustainable Fashion:** Creating fashion products using eco-friendly and ethical production methods, reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. - **Home Decor:** Designing and producing home products that promote sustainability and responsible consumption. - **Retail:** Offering consumers unique, sustainable products and personalized experiences, adding value and promoting brand loyalty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Shoe-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison.md) - [Contemporary Upcycled Bright Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison-1.md) - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Repurposed Patchwork Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-by-ugg.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Upcycled Denim Waste Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluff-stack-furniture.md) - [Denim-Upholstered Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denimupholstered-sofas.md) - [Slick Eco-Conscious Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoconscious-chair-design.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pouf Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe.md)
