This Giani Bernini bag was gifted to my mom by my aunt and she really loved it. So she used it until it was no more usable. Since it’s something precious to her, she wanted me to upcycle it into something useful. The handles on the bag were absolutely destroyed but I could use almost 80% of the rest of the bag. What came out of it is this beautiful tie-up top and a pair of hand gloves.
The Infinity Vest-Bag "2026 may not come again, but April 22 is infinite." I made this from 4 pairs of jeans to challenge single-use garment waste and show our continuous commitment to Planet Earth. I hand-spun denim yarn for the crocheted appliqués. Using a denim cord through belt loops made from the jean seams and waist bands, the vest transforms into a tote bag. Final scraps become a bow on pockets, ensuring an infinite cycle. Upcycler: @boujee_designs_gh Model: @louis_ahhh

The "Eazy" Upcycled faux-leather jacket, a Reworked faux leather jacket I got many years ago together with an artist tour t-shirt I reworked, cut and sewed on the back of the jacket, and then adding recycled chains and pins to Up the look! Its my favorite series from many of my works!

Top upcycled: estruturado a partir de jeans, com recortes assimétricos e acabamento propositalmente inacabado, com costuras aparentes e bordas desfiadas. A modelagem cria uma silhueta marcante e orgânica. Um dos destaques é o bolso reaproveitado que agora carrega uma ilustração pintada à mão. Saia: ajustada ao corpo, também em vermelho. Na lateral, há um patch pintado à mão com um coração vermelho envolto por traços orgânicos em preto, lembrando chamas ou energia em movimento.
