One of my very favorite recycled leather handbag designers (Ashley Watson) is now doing jewelry (Watson Jewelry). And just like her handbags, I love everything. But if I HAD to choose a favorite, it would be this agate bracelet:
Ashley handcrafts everything in Vancouver using vintage materials whenever possible. But I especially love her inspired-but-not-literal interpretation of antique jewelry; she keeps it totally modern for today’s woman.

I’ve posted a lot of recycled leather handbags on Green Grechen – what can I say, I never get tired of finding lovely leather handbags – and as a follow-up to a popular post I did last year on “Reclaimed Chic: The Best Recycled Leather Handbags,” here’s a new rundown of my favorite recycled leather handbag designers:
Ashley Watson was the first designer I found a couple of years ago working with recycled leather. I may be wrong, but in my opinion, she paved the way for others to follow, and consistently produces unique, fashionable, high-quality recycled leather bags. She’s sold at nearly every online eco-boutique you can find now – Kaight, Beklina, and Nimli have some of the best selection. My favorite is this Kestrel bag at Beklina for $285:
reMade USA is a new recycled leather handbag designer who’s coming strong on to the market. Aside from selling in her own webshop, some of her designs will soon be sold on Barney’s Co-Op. Cool! The Sonoma is one of my favorite designs – the duffel is always an interesting shape. ($395)

Angelina from Beklina and I thought it was time to bring you a little ray of sunshine in the middle of the Summer (without so much heat), by offering 50% off your order of at least $100 at Beklina through 7/14 with code 50GC100. The code is not valid on sale items (they’re already marked down 50%) or on anything in the paper/nest category.
Use this exclusive opportunity to kick start your Fall/Winter wardrobe with some hoodies by Prarie Underground, or stock up on Summer favorites from Stewart + Brown and Mociun.
I’ve mentioned before how much I love Beklina and could live in everything in the shop, but for now, here are some of my favorites:
Ashley Watson Bag: $335 |
Rachel Comey Hair clips: $134 |
Mociun Swimsuit: $164 |
Prarie Underground: $210 |
Prarie Underground: $74 |
She-Bible: $98 |

Here’s another lovely from one of our favorite recycled leather handbag designers, Ashley Watson – this bag is handmade from a recycled suede jacket (I’m absolutely sure it looks better as a bag than it would have as a jacket!!):
Available at Candy Store Collective
