| If 10,000 LA Biters buy an accessory made from reclaimed materials and scraps instead of new materials, we'll keep the weight of about 17,000 sewing machines out of landfills. |

 The Bite
…and here's Ideal Bite with the leather: a gust of one-of-a-kind handmade, rocker accessories from Eagle Rock-based designer Fahmina blowing in from the east. You can see here that she makes feathered leather earrings, belts (stow your cards, cash, and Emergen-C in the pouch lining of the ID Hider version), pendants, cuffs, and hand-painted Fanny Clutches (style advisory: way chic-er than a fanny pack) with removable leather strap to wear at your waist, over the shoulder, or as a clutch. The pieces are made from 95% factory scraps and reclaimed leather, so you'll help recycle textile samples and defects, putting odds and ends to good use instead of sending them to landfills. Back to you, Biters. |
