Textile samples are one of my favorite things and when I had the opportunity to snatch up some discontinued samples destined for the landfill I decided to do a little recycling, reusing, and repurposing. Viola, "Closed Loop" Tote Bags where designed. Closed loop is a recycling term which describes the manufacture of a new object completely from the recycled material of earlier objects. Everyone needs a tote bag for groceries, lunches, or just junk. Each bag is unique and fun!! Last week at my Portfolio Show I gave away thirty bags and they were a big hit.
