Good Times at the San Diego Zero Waste Reuse/Repair Fair

Sunday, October 5th, 2008



Margaret from Salvation Sacks

Margaret’s bags are works of art. They are handmade from recycled/vintage clothing and belts and accented with fabric remnants and costume jewelry. They are built to last and they are VERY high quality. You will enjoy using this bag for years to come. Purchase quickly, because since each bag is unique, once it’s gone …it is truly gone!

Prices vary $145.00 – $165.00 at Salvation Sacks



Jim from Retrofit Designs

Jim’s work is eco-friendly and artistic. He painstakingly sifts through thrift store shirts to find the perfect specimens for his transformations. He hand silk screens his designs on top of existing designs with eco friendly water based inks. The results are keeping things out of the landfill and putting you in a one-of-kind eco-friendly look.

Prices vary $24.00 – $32.00 at Retrofit Designs
