About this item

"Be as eco-savvy as you are fashionable with this shoulder bag made of woven strips of recycled magazine pages. The artisan carefully chooses pages to create a field of green-dominated color in the center bordered with white and solid green stripes on the top and bottom. The shoulder bag has a single compartment secured by a magnetic snap and black straps. The purse is crafted by Costa Rica's Luis Barboza, who loves to create beautiful accessories from recyclable materials."

Innovation moves me to create quality designs that are 100 percent functional and original. I want shoppers to become aware that reusing materials helps reduce the contamination of our environment.

My small collection of jewelry is a joy to create. The designs are unique and original and all the materials are recycled.

I had to start from zero because of things that others did to me but this just made me work harder with the help of God. The truth is, it's the tough times when you achieve things you never thought you could.

For a number of years, I was living in the USA and a friend there created art from discarded materials as a hobby. I always gave him materials. But one day, I'd given him so much that he asked me to hold onto them. Instead, he offered to teach me his techniques.

At the time, I wasn't too keen on learning but he insisted so much that I finally felt an obligation to try. So I did.

Later on, when I returned to Costa Rica, I didn't have a job so I began crafting handbags and personalized the technique. Ever since then, I've never stopped creating eco-friendly jewelry and accessories.
