Why carry a bag made from just any old billboard, when you can carry one made of a recycled movie poster? Modulab takes old vinyl movie advertisements and turns them into totes, handbags, and wallets for pop culture junkies. As movie posters are so large, the bags feature extreme actor close-ups and movie fonts. This makes the bags look quite abstract, and utterly original.
Designers Pamela Castro and Filepe Ferrer source the billboards from their native Chile to minimize their carbon footprint. The bright and unique prints make the classic Modulab designs really pop. They’re practical too, with the fabric ensuring the bags are durable and waterproof. Each is lined and trimmed with cotton, and appointed with several interior pockets for organization.
Modulab is also a socially conscious company too, committed to creating its bags locally in Chile using Fair Trade certified practices.
You can get Modulab bags at a range of Chilean boutiques and online at the European eco-store More Than Hip.
