turn your plastic bags into handbags

When you open your kitchen cabinet, do you have a ton of old plastic grocery bags?  We definitely do.   Starting in a month or so, Freddy&Ma is going to be offering a very unique product that is partially MADE from all those old bags under your sink.  We have figured out a way to turn old bags into a very cool fabric like material.  The picture on the left is a section of the material made from two Trader Joe's bags we had lying around.  It feels a lot like those indestructible FEDEX mailers and has a very cool layered appearance. 

The plan is that you will mail us about 20 bags which we will magically turn into the fabric to be used on a Freddy&Ma Metro clutch.  It is a very labor intensive process and we are going to charge around $150.00 for the bag, but you will have an incredibly unique product.  Let us know if you are interested and we can put you on the pre-order list.  Stay tuned to the blog for updates on this product, we should have sample bag pictures in a few weeks.

We've been recruiting like mad here at F&M, and thought we'd tell you about our newest designer and share some of his concepts with you.  Gregory Thomas also has his own line of handbags (see why we get along), but we convinced him to swing his talents into textile design for F&M.  Here's a few preview concepts.
