Leather is rarely considered an eco-friendly choice, but French brand Matières à Réflexion challenges that notion with its repurposed leather handbags. By using recycled leather, Matières à Réflexion creates buttery soft purses that are as green as they are unique.
Old French military jackets, blue denim jeans, and heavy canvas are turned into unisex purses in Matières à Réflexion’s Urban line. If you’re looking for something more feminine, consider the jewel-covered purses of the Flat collection. With their Art Deco looks and metallic finishes, these handbags are perfect for making the day to night transition. The Matières à Réflexion bags are available in a range of styles, including feminine totes and unisex messengers, and each is as unique as the original garment it’s made from.
Each Matières à Réflexion is handcrafted and numbered to guarantee its authenticity. Parisian shoppers can visit the label’s store at 19 Rue de Poitou, while fans around the globe can shop at the brand’s online store.
