Since its formation in 2006, Grace Jewelry has become a word of mouth phenomenon among style mavens for its one-of-a-kind leather bracelets that use 80% recycled/repurposed materials. What started out as a quest for the perfect leather bracelet, evolved into a product line dedicated to using recycled materials and, designs inspired by nature and the American west. “I started my leather cuff line because I could not find a soft and feminine leather bracelet. I started collecting old leather pants and jackets and I up-cycle the leather from these garments and use them in my bracelet designs”, explains Tracy Taft Morton, Grace Jewelry’s owner and designer. Tracy embellishes the cuffs with floral designs made of semi precious stones, clusters of pearls and western conchos.

Here’s another fabulous Etsy designer I’m adding to my list of favorites: heidi & seek. heidi & seek’s designer, Hayley, hand-sews everything herself from remnant, unwanted, and/or recycled fabrics, and I just love the casual and playful aesthetic. How cute is this tunic/dress with the laces hanging down (to do what you will with)? and this empire-waist top?
I could really get into all these “reworked” vintage leather handbags and wallets I’ve been finding lately. I love the styles of older pieces, and the awesome artwork these designers are embellishing them with. This “vintage” wallet has been enhanced and reworked by Shara Porter:
