RURU Bag

Description

Who doesn’t love our little native Aotearoa New Zealand owl, the Ruru? Florence Saves Clothes LOVES birds, especially these little fellas and they’ve inspired a shoulder bag made from rescued denim, leather, elastic and a stylish business shirt. This lined, totally reversible unique bag says (hoots?) “I love our native birds”. 

 

Here’s why you want this bag: 

 

• It’s probably one of the cutest bags you’ve ever seen
• The stylish and whimsical design makes people smile
• It will add a pop of colour and street-cred to loads of outfits
• It’s made from repurposed denim, paired with a lining made from a cool repurposed business shirt, which also has a secret button-up pocket sewn into the shirt front for keys, phones and wallets.
• It shows that you support circular fashion
• It’s a total one-off, made with care, skill and imagination…which is essential when you’re repurposing the unwanted into the wanted in a truly professional way
• It says “I understand craftsmanship”
• It’s a practical size and shape, and uber-comfortable to carry due to the sturdy, soft elastic we rescued to make it
