Intro to Hanny-d

Hello,
I'm looking forward to posting here. I'm a keen recycler with a sense of humour when it comes to some of my creations. It all started when I was looking for an economical way to make Christmas gifts for family and friends. I was not working so money was a real issue.
I started making handbags and accessories from deconstructed clothing and upholstery. They were rather rustic at first but as I learned more about techniques designs became more intricate. Now I have quite an extensive range of bags and other goodies all created from 100% recycled and reclaimed materials.
I feel passionate about sustainability in the fashion industry so I have started creating garments from recycled materials as well.
I am proud to be a designer who is proactive when it comes to the recycling cause.
