On Repeat: Echoes in the Attic is Making Upcycling Uber Chic

Posted by Canadian Gift Guide on July 6, 2017 · 29 Comments 


Echoes in the Attic

What It Is: A prime: Upcycling is the act of taking something that’s at the end of its life and repurposing it into something well, better. Echoes in the Attic diverts tons (literally 80+ tonnes to date) of fabric from heading to the landfills for the purposes of crafting one-of-a-kind bags, totes, iPad covers, wristlets, pillows, and more. Eco chic yet totally functional, these awesome bags come in a huge range of patterns and styles, making ’em an easy pick to add into your wardrobe.

Who It’s For: Your bridesmaid, for one-of-a-kind gifts as unique as your friendship. Your mom, as a swell Mother’s Day gift she’ll love to show off. Your nature-loving sibling, as an accessory she can be proud of.

What It Costs: Prices start for as little as $20 for a wristlet, I believe the most expensive bag I saw was around $65.

Where It’s At: Shop online here or check out their stockists across Canada.

Get an extra entry into my Drake General Store giveaway by visiting the Echoes in the Attic shop and telling me which bag you’d most love to nab (feel free to share a link!)
