Just Launched: The Upcycled Wallet - Delhi Rang
Today we are launching our upcyled minimalist wallet in a new multicolor style: Delhi Rang. The name pays homage to the city (Delhi) where the colored (Rang, meaning ‘color’ in Hindi) plastic bags are collected off the streets, cleaned and sorted before being hand stitched into this slim wallet design.
As with the other wallets we have partnered with Conserve India, a socially focused NGO in India determined to help those often referred to as 'rag pickers' by providing fair wage employment, education and health care for employees and their families. As each wallet is handmade and without using any dyes, each is one-of-a-kind in its pattern and style based on the specific colored bags used to make each wallet.
Upcycling is the process of taking items out of the waste stream and creating higher value items from them without the need to break them down (recycling), a process that not only reduces waste in new production but also prolongs the life of the otherwise discarded plastic bag - providing a high quality, minimally designed, vegan wallet. The equally mindful and convenient packaging is made from 90% recycled material and is fully biodegradable.
As with all Holstee products, 10% of sales are lent to entrepreneurs in the developing world through their partnership with Kiva.org.
