Inherited Leather

Inherited Leather are one-of-a-kind belts and handbags designed by Louisville Kentucky artist Sue Schofield. These goods are made entirely from salvaged leather garments and upholstery. This natural resource is impossible to sustain without re-purposing- as it is an otherwise non-recyclable "textile". The innate, asymmetrical aesthetic of this artwork is a direct result of utilizing a material that was once a living thing. 
Here are a few of her products that we have at Elodie..







My favorite is the dark brown handbag with the octopus hardware design, it is just so different... which one do you guys like best??
