Upcycle mini utility keyring purse made from scraps

R45.00

The Eco-Friendly Mini Box-Shaped Utility Purse is a compact, practical, and stylish solution for keeping small essentials safe. Its box-shaped structure makes the most of its size, while the swivel clip means you can attach it to your handbag, keys, or belt loop for quick access.

Handmade from upcycled fabrics, each purse carries a unique character. Traditional Shwe Shwe prints bring cultural flair, linens and cottons add everyday elegance, and mixed fabrics ensure no two are ever the same. This means that each piece is not just a bag—it’s a story of fabric, waste reduction, and creativity.

Perfect for coins, earbuds, USB sticks, lip balm, or small cosmetics, the purse combines function with sustainability.

Description

The Mini Box-Shaped Utility Purse is proof that small things can make a big difference. By repurposing offcuts and donated fabrics, we prevent textile waste from ending up in landfill, transforming it into a stylish and practical accessory.

Each purse is individually handcrafted by artisans through Upcycle, turning forgotten fabrics into something useful and beautiful. The box-shape design offers surprising storage space in a compact form, while the sturdy zip closure and swivel clip make it easy to keep your essentials secure and accessible.

Whether it’s made from Shwe Shwe’s iconic prints, soft cottons, or textured linens, every purse is unique—no two are alike.

For corporates, this purse is more than a giveaway: it’s a tangible expression of CSR and CSI values. Bulk orders can be produced from fabrics supplied by companies themselves, ensuring their waste materials are given a second life while empowering local communities.
