Nahui Ollin Candy Wrapper Bag NWOT

In 2003 Nahui Ollin (pronounced now-we-oh-lean) was established based on a need we saw for “green” alternatives in fashion accessories. Since its inception, we have filled that need, maintained success and furthered our mission to provide ethical and fashionable items to our growing following of ‘conscious’ fashionistas. Nahui Ollin designer Olga Abadi discovered the ancient Mayan technique of binding everyday materials into handbags at a cultural festival in Mexico. She realized that this process not only prevents the emission of harmful chemicals into our atmosphere by recycling, but also allows for the design of unique materials now classified as eco-fashion. By combining this technique and her eye for design, Olga created the Nahui Ollin candy wrapper handbag.
