Wexner Center: Turning Exhibition Banners into Bags

Remember the bags made out of banned Brazilian billboards that we blogged about last year? Well, Columbus museum, Wexner Center for the Arts, has taken a cue from the concept and teamed up with local designers to create a Banners into Bags program using signage from past exhibitions…

The bags made by designers Seagull Bags and Kelly Williams & Adam Maynard are waterproof, durable and feature convenient interior and exterior pockets. Styles include totes, various sizes of messenger bags, hip bags and fanny packs - prices range from $40 to $192. Each banner bag is one-of-kind and of course limited in quantity.

I've read a lot about this trend lately and I'm all for it. In every instance, the end upcycled result is an amazingly colorful and dynamic fashion accessory, almost better than anything you could get from virgin material. I've been a big fan of Artecnica TBWA Recycled Billboard Stretch Bags ever since I first saw them http://bit.ly/d9Hs9 but now I'm in love with these recycled billboard jeans http://bit.ly/8arTs !!!

I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and this bags were very famous here some years ago. Now they're still cool, but not as it was before.
