There’s a few in almost every closet—favorite old handbags that are too nice to toss, but not quite up to snuff. Instead of letting them gather dust, consider employing the talents of Made in Mānoa designer Wendy Hee, who takes apart outdated and underused handbags and remakes them into something fresh.

The magic lies in Hee’s meticulous craftsmanship and creativity. In her hands, a tired Tory Burch tote becomes a chic envelope clutch, a Louis Vuitton trunk transforms into a sleek hobo style, and a Gucci carryall gets a glow up as a saddle bag. The eco-friendly practice keeps waste out of landfills and your outfits one of a kind.
