recycled leather and african wax prints

I have talked here before about how I love the patterns on African wax cotton prints. You can see the wealth of designs here.  Lined up above are the linings of some large pouches–similar on the outside, cobalt or evergreen recycled skirts–but each lined with a unique piece of wax print. I have been collecting these fabrics for a while and the examples here were purchased at markets in Kenya and France. Below is another example, this one with its recycled suede pocket is ready to be inserted into the second Toffee Delta tote. Such rich colour and design.
