Imperial Metallics: Hottest New Recycled Candy Wrapper Handbag Collection by Nahui Ollin

Just in– the hottest new candy wrapper collection by Nahui Ollin: Metallics. Radiating with black, gold, copper and silver wrappers, these new handbags are all hand woven in the most contemporary styles with several thousand recycled candy wrappers each. One of these must-have styles is the ‘Round Town’ (pictured left) featuring a perfectly elongated shoulder strap and the other is the Parker Bag (pictured below), with a gorgeous patent leather buckle.

Hand woven with a delicate pattern of recycled candy wrappers of imperial metallic colors, the handbags add a characteristic style and flare without too much flash. The best part though is that they are impeccably sized with practical features for everyday use. With Nahui Ollin’s signature intricate weaving patterns, the bags capture the eye as a stunning pieces of art without compromising on wearability, nor eco-friendliness.

The Parker Bag is my personal favorite, made from more than 2,000 recycled candy wrappers (diverted from landfills), this bag is incredibly practical and also chic. The adjustable strap, makes it workable for any height or any outfit situation. The full buckle closure allows you to feel secure with your belongings not going anywhere on an outing. Finally, the bag has Nahui Ollin’s signature weave, which makes it a stunning conversation piece, due to its intricate weaving pattern– coupled with the fact that it is made from so may candy wrappers! (And no, one person did not eat all the candy for these wrappers. A question I get all the time, and one you will get too if you buy one of these! .)

Next is the Round Town Style (also know as the Round Town 2, which is featured below as well as top). This bag features very useful long should straps, a full zip closure and is a practical size for everyday needs. It is remarkably sturdy — made from more than 2,000 candy wrappers and is water resistant (like all of Nahui Ollin’s bags). The Round Town is a very useful travel bag, work bag, or outing bag, as you can fit all the essentials for a day in this size bag. This style also comes in Tutti Frutti.

Nahui Ollin handbags are all handmade in Mexico by Mayan men and women. The Mayan people have a tradition of weaving in their culture, and they have very adeptly been able to weave intricate and complex handbags for Nahui Ollin collections. Nahui Ollin invests in a socially conscious program with their weavers, assisting in the preservation of their traditions and artform, while also supporting a stable livlilood and opportunities for education, health and well-being.
