Handmade Recycled Book Handbags

What could more fun than turning your favorite read into a beautiful, practical handbag? That's just what we've done for you! We've rummaged yard sales, flea markets and our own attic to find mint condition hardbound books destined for the dustbin and then had them made into beautiful purses. The original covers and spines are preserved and then a high-quality fabric chosen to create the flange and interior. Each book is completely unique and takes about 10 hours to make. Our current collection includes titles by Jane Austin, The Bobbsey Twins, Love Story and more. Click the Category Link at right to browse our full Collection.

Charles van Sandwyk Trade Quality Books

Charles van Sandwyk is a painter and author from Vancouver, Canada by way of the island of Fiji. His work hangs in the National Library of Canada as well as in several important private collections. If ever there was a "dreamer" who could weave stories and paint pictures of a softer, gentler world, van Sandwyk is it! I discovered these books during my yearly visit to my farm on Prince Edward Island and I was immediately captivated. They are handcrafted and self published in very small quantities, beautifully illustrated in colored inks, foils, tipped in bookmarks, etc. and each title carries a message of love, compassion and beauty. They are truly keepsakes and make wonderful gifts for children or new born babies, wedding or anniversary gifts, or just for someone you love.
