Nahui Ollin is a big name in the environmentally-friendly fashion world. Her use of recycled everyday items makes her a leader when it comes to inventive designs.
The candy wrappers, soda bottle labels, and other various papers can sometimes look very similar to me from bag to bag at a distance. However, each is really unique up close with many bags offered in the multi-colored Tuttifrutti, like on this Ritual Tote, and in Letters, as on the Rosy Cheeks Wristlet.
This handbag is not for anyone who wants to blend into a crowd, though. The bright colors are enough to keep the shy from carrying it, but it’s perfect for gals who want to stand out or don’t mind inviting conversation from strangers.
It has sturdy leather handles and a handy buckled flap with a magnetic closure for style and practicality. The Ritual holds a decent amount of items and even has an interior pocket for small things.
Recycled material doesn’t always mean inexpensive, though. Handmade and intricately woven can often carry a high cost. This paper and leather Nahui Ollin Ritual retails for $165, which seems a bit much to me for a bag you can’t wear with everything. For a truly one-of-a-kind purse, though, I suppose it’s a fair price to pay.
