Nahui Ollin
A frequenter of the cultural festivals near her local hometown in Mexico, it was here that designer Olga Abadi discovered the ancient Mayan technique of binding everyday materials into handbags. The result is Nahui Ollin, a specialty line of handbags inspired by age-old techniques with a modern look and feel. All materials are collected from small, independent factories near where the Abadi family lives in Mexico from the candy wrappers to the leather handles. While the bags are indeed made from candy wrappers, they stand the test of time and weather for a tear-free durability.
