"Zansus is a collection of beautiful up-stream recycled pursues and clutches. The designers pull discarded textiles from various business throughout the peninsula and use the pieces to create one of a kind handbags. The founders, Sushanta and Naz were extremely interesting to talk with about the subject of sustainable design and incorporating recycled items into current trends in fashion."

AWARDS:
Jury Award Winner for Discarded to Devine 2011 in 'Fashion Accessories and Handbag' category.
"The Union of Resourcefulness and Culture" The warm terracotta colors and rawness of the materials like Raffia of the Helmet mask (from De Young's permanent African Collection) are the primary source of inspiration for this functional clutch. This clutch is made from drapery piece that we picked from St. Vincent De Paul and is a strong reminder of the metal exterior of the beautiful De Young Museum. |
