A colorful range of upcycled leather wallets is available via luxury fashion label Maison Margiela's upcycling line. Called 'Recicla,' this waste-reduction venture is part of the brand's commitment to creating a more sustainable workplace. All of the materials used in the upcycled leather wallet build are sourced from leftover materials from the fashion house's other pieces. As such, the Recicla wallets come in limited-edition numbers, 30 in this case, to be exact. Each piece is adorned by a Recicla badge, stating how many pieces in total are in the collection, the material, and calling out Italy as the country from which said materials were sourced.
Beyond the upcycled leather wallets, Maison Margiela's Recicla collection also boasts phone holders, "upcycled versions of the 5AC classic bag," and more.
