Recycled Retail
We have reduce, reuse, recycle figured out. Upcycling is another story. Luckily it has a stylish ending.
Reworks Upcycle Shop has made the leap from online retailer to Inglewood storefront carrying all manner of well-designed products that take waste materials and turn them into something new and better. Think egg flats and shoulder bags made from factory off-cuts of felt, toys made from plastic milk containers and chairs made from traffic signs and Champagne corks.
The world is a much better place when popping a bottle of bubbly leads to new furniture. —Jaelyn Molyneux
