Nahui Ollin gives us more of the designs she’s known for best with this Moonlite clutch.
The Moonlite is the longest of Nahui Ollin’s clutch purses. I think its shape is more elegant than the stubbier purses, although something made from woven candy wrappers could never really be called sophisticated. It’s more of a conversation piece, especially in this retro Peace N Love Groovy print.
Green fashionistas may love the finish, which weaves more than 400 candy wrappers together using a traditional Mayan technique. It certainly beats seeing them in landfill! It’s also quite easy to take care of; the waxy surface simply wipes clean with a damp cloth. But such a material will never be as hardy as leather or even synthetic. Make sure to only carry the bare essentials if you want this purse to last.
At $55 though, that lack of staying power isn’t such a concern. You’ll have a lot of fun with this quirky purse while the materials hold up!
