reMade USA

Cool name and cool products. reMade USA is a  Cheap Prom Dresses UK design company that upcycles used materials to make one-of-a-kind products. Their first line is a range of bags made from used leather clothing and scrap. these unique bags are produced in limited quantities with only 10-14 bags available at any one time. Each bag is a limited edition of one and bears its own serial number that reflects its uniqueness.

reMade USA was born out of the concern with creating yet another product to add to the gazillions already on this planet. Shannon South has a strong belief that if one is to be a product designer, there's an important responsibility in thinking about what materials might do to the environment and how the people manufacturing them are being affected. As she mentions in her website:

"The only way I'd ever have a clean conscience and feel proud of what I was doing as a bag designer would be if I was using scrap or reusing materials and making them locally. It seemed absurd at the time, as I was sending CAD drawings to China and having my bags mass produced. As I thought about it more seriously, I decided to at least give it a try. The creator in me has a strong desire to make physical objects that I can carry and that people can admire. I went to Good Will, found a leather jacket and Evening Dresses UK let the details guide my design. I loved the result and quickly became obsessed with studying old jacket details and our current designs."

You can even do it yourself if you have the skills. She shows you how.
