Nahui Ollin has been cleverly weaving recycled paper into handbags for some time now. I’m not always a fan of her styles, but there are many designs that have such a great combination of colors and textures as to catch my attention.
The ER collection has a few different versions including tote, satchel, and this mini purse. On this particular paper option, Nahui Ollin used recycled Tootsie Roll paper for the main body of the bag. Surprisingly, you can hardly even tell until you really examine the material.
The Tootsie Mini ER satchel’s best feature is the cherry red trim on the handles and bottom corners. If you’re concerned about eco-friendly and animal-friendly issues, you’ll be glad to know that this design uses only manmade leather. It only makes sense since the label places high priority on using recycled paper.
If you like the look but don’t love the obvious utilization of candy wrappers, you might enjoy the other two options for this Mini ER purse. One is Sunday paper comics in color with black trim, and the other is an abstract print with orange details.
Obviously the Mini ER isn’t a large handbag, but it’s a cute little purse with tons of personality. It’s exactly the sort of thing I’ve come to expect from Nahui Ollin, but I think this might be one of the brand’s best yet.
