New on the Scene – Migdalia™, Upcycled Fashion Bags
Vibrant and hip, fun and funky, Migdalia™ tote bags transform the discarded into art, proving that sustainability need not be dull and unfashionable.
Migdalia™ signature bags have created quite a buzz in South Florida and are now being positioned to reach a much broader audience through their new web site, www.RecycleMyBag.com.
Saving the world with designer tote bags might sound far-fetched to the uninformed, but to those recessionistas who have been following the explosion of upcycled and recycled fashions in recent years, it makes perfect sense.
According to the EPA Office of Solid Waste, Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year. Migdalia™ Upcycled Bags resurrect the best of these fabrics and elevate them into utterly unique works of art. For Migdalia™, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts; however, these parts are pretty great.
Migdalia™ handcrafts her one-of-a-kind bags by meticulously sourcing high quality vintage fabrics and re-styling them into exceptionally stylish and on-trend tote bags. No simple rags-to-riches exercise, Migdalia™ balances color, texture and design with her signature appliqué fashion illustrations.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Migdalia at Surf Expo last month. In fact, it was this amazingly bright and vivid print that pulled me right into her booth because I just had to see it up close! Her prints are mesmerizing and speak to the beauty and strength of women.
“My inspiration comes from my love for the woman’s body. Women have beautiful curves, shapes. Each illustration represents a woman of power, beauty, and independence. My dolls can stand alone, their attitude allows them to be without support. Each one of my fashion illustrations has their own facial expression, never one the same. Their face is the window to the mood of the drawing. It sets the tone for the rest.” – artist, Migdalia Pace
