The debut range from Issi, is the result of a series of collaborations with award-winning artists - who accepted the challenge to create chic products from materials that would have otherwise gone to waste.
With renowned environmentalists Elvis & Kresse behind the scheme, the materials used include old fire hoses, recylced parachute silk and reclaimed leather.
With the initial drop featuring a mixture of bags, clutches, purses and wallets, the Issi eco-warriors are now planning on-going collaborations with their award-winning designers, to build on the striking art-meets-eco collection.
