so my mom just got back from a trip to italy (sooo jealous!) and brought me back a few little goodies, including this incredible bracelet! she bought it at RE(f)USE in rome, a store selling all these amazing one-of-a kind pieces of jewellery, bags, home accessories (the list goes on!) all made from recycled goods. great name for a store, huh? my bracelet is made from an oil filter! it is just one of many items designed under the label carmina campus, which was founded by one of the fendi sisters, Ilaria Venturini Fendi, whose high-end eco-conscious handbags have been gaining in popularity! such amazingly creative and beautiful stuff. of course the italians would be doing this!!! who better to take “old” and make it “new” AND stylish?!
