Q: What materials are used to make RepurposingNOLA products?
A: We only select materials found locally in New Orleans to create our uniquely sustainable, fashionable designs.

Sturdy burlap from local PJs roasting house coffee sacks that originate all over the globe stamped specifically for destination: New Orleans are redesigned into our cool bags and clothing line.
