If you love handbags (purses) as much as we do, you’re in for a treat! Drumroll, please….. Introducing Cahoots Handbags!!! Aside from having a cute and catchy name, these handbags have such flawless style and character. All of these bags are handmade, from recycled fabrics. All of the fabrics used were once draperies, upholstery fabric, or uniforms. We love the vintage style and feel of each handbag! Brides, they even have a bridal line of clutches and small handbags for your wedding day. These precious purses would make perfect bridesmaids gifts!!!
Here’s what Cahoots Handbags website says:
“Cahoots provides you with fabulous handbags made of vintage upholstery fabrics and alternative vintage textiles. Because our fabrics are irreplaceable and only allow a couple of bags, its often a buy-it-while-you-can-get-it arrangement. Once something is sold, its kissed gently goodbye.
We believe in high-quality handmade items and in working our fingers to the bone instead of the hands of child workers in Southeast Asian countries. We provide fabulous vegan handbag alternatives for the animal activists of the world. We believe that a handbag has the potential to replace the security blanket of your childhood and that making you think of your grandmother’s couch, apron, or tablecloth is the nicest gift we could possibly give you.
We believe that the relationship between ourselves and our customers should be as personal as your relationship to your fabulous handbag. We believe in immediate communication, not putting customers on hold, and maintaining the quality and integrity of our product by handling every aspect of our business ourselves. Our customers are special and they deserve special bags.”
The bags above are referred to as “Scouts” by the Cahoots team. These are all made from vintage Girl Scout uniforms. Are you still holding on to your old Girl Scout uniform for some reason?? Take it up to their Studio in Gainesville, TX and they’ll be happy to create a fashionable purse for you! The same goes for the handbags below. These are from Cahoots’ 2-3-4′s Collection. They are made from military uniforms. These are not kept on hand for sale, as they are made on a special order basis… aka, someone brings in their old uniform, their husband’s, brother’s, or father’s uniform and has them transform the uniform into a cherished keepsake. LOVE these!!!!
We also want to give Cahoots Handbags major props for giving back to the world. They are so thankful to be happy and healthy in this new year, but their hearts are heavy for those in Haiti. So, they’ll be donating 25% of all online sales to the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.
Thank you, Cahoots Handbags, for being environmentally conscious and humane, all the while making such a fabulous and gorgeous product!!!!
