My Purpose

Few months back I was considered waste! But to creative minds decide to give a me a new life and transform me into a unique and one-of-a-kind object. From now on I have a new purpose. My mission is to be by your side when the muse comes to you. I will carry within me the tools you need to express your creativity. Together we communicate trough art our ideas to the world.

Where you can take me?

• You can take me to your art classes.
• I’m compact! so I can travel inside your school or college backpack.
• While you paint, I can be by your side.
• If you need a makeup touch-up, I’ll be there with all you need.

Which are my proportions?

My proportions are approximately 8.5 in x 9.5 in. Remember that all of us are handmade with love and patience. You may find irregularities in our materials and dimensions but actually that’s part of our uniqueness. These are the traits that makes each of us unrepeatable just like you. 

What makes me special?

• I’ll keep organized all your pencils, brushes, scissor and/or ruler.
• If you like knitting, I can also carry your needles.
• My appearance makes people curious.
• I’m generating jobs and promoting circular economy.
• Proudly design and upcycled in Puerto Rico.

What am I made of?

I’m elaborated with textiles from around the world that end up in Puerto Rico.

Also, I’ve got a nickel D ring which you can use to attach me to your bag or backpack.

How to take care of me?

I’m expecting to grow old with you. If I get dirty, you can handwash me and let me dry outside. Maybe I get wrinkles but that’s ok, you can iron me at low temperature and they will go away. What happen if I get damage? Don’t worry! I can be fix or be repurposed. The intension is to reduce massive consumption and learn to value the objects you possess. This way I can be by your side for a longer period and every time we look at each other remind all the memories we’ve created on this journey together.
