Luis Carlos Alves and his colorful bags


Today I chose a colorful+eco-friendly mind.
Me and Luis Carlos were classmates some years ago in SENAI, here in São Paulo. I saw his first steps in fashion and also the first bags he created. I had contact with that bags almost everyday because it were a great success around SENAI (and everybody wanted to order one).

It has so many details and it's almost impossible to specify how many different patterns and materials he used in each bag. His idea in simple but in same time very powerful: every material came from other brands garbage. It's almost impossible to believe that all these wonderful materials were in trash, but that's true!


I hope to see more designers working with residual materials, because it's really possible to great many interesting things with them. There's also a big community in Flickr called "Trashionista". If you love sustainable and recycled brands you should check it out!
