American designer Karen Lukacs gives vintage clothes a new lease on life, as brand new handbags!

Karen has a gift for seeing the potential in all sorts of fashion items, from knit sweaters to jewelry, leather jackets to neck ties. As she only uses vintage fabrics, handbag fans are assured that every Karen Lukacs bag is one of a kind. Each one is handcrafted with an attention to detail rarely seen in larger manufacturers. It’s the little things that bagistas will really appreciate: the fabric lined interiors, the convenient cell phone pockets and key rings, and other thoughtful details.

Not to mention the prices. With most bags costing less than $100, Karen Lukacs are affordable for even the most frugal fashionistas.

I’m in the business of upcycling discarded finds into functional works of art,” the designer explains on her Etsy page. “This is recycling. This is Indie Design. This, is Eco Fashion.
