https://thecreativebarnus.etsy.com People always told me to sell my things and I finally started this journey! I grew up in Switzerland where taking care of the enviorment was huge. Recycling was a part of growing up. No plastic, composting, re-using was just something we

learned being children. The older I get the more I have a hard time seeing all the plastic so I started to make bags, totes, shoppers to carry things home. Of course all these items are up-cycled and as much as possible re-used. Making bags has been a bliss! I love how they all come out with a different character, just like us human beings! I will also send out my makings in recycled boxes. So don't be surprised if it is a re-used box that is still intact enough to make another trip. Thank you for looking into my shop and hopefully you could find something that makes you smile! Cheers

✨ One-of-a-kind denim origami bag ✨
Made from upcycled jeans, shaped into that relaxed Japanese origami style, and finished with a detachable adjustable strap so you can wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody.
No two pieces are ever the same, and this one has its own little denim story. 💙

From worn denim to one-of-a-kind everyday bag ✨
This upcycled denim crossbody has all the little details I love: real jean pockets, soft slouchy shape, a feather charm, and a bright anchor-print lining inside. Casual, boho, and made to go everywhere with you. 💙

New in the shop.

Started with a pile of denim scraps. Ended with this big slouchy beauty 💙✂️
This one has all the good stuff: patchwork, raw edges, old Levi’s details, plaid lining, and a little denim charm for fun.

Not perfect. Not factory-made. That’s exactly the point. ✨

New in the shop: this oversized Japanese origami denim bag, made from upcycled jeans and full of one-of-a-kind details. Roomy, slouchy, artsy, and already a favorite style, so I don’t think this one will stay long. 💙✨
