Upcycle Your Way Into Spring Fashions...

This weeks featured products share a few things in common, both creators are using vintage and recycled materials and both are creating playful yet functional pieces for your Spring wardrobe.

Take Beatrice Holiday - Wheel Cute Couture for example. This line is locally made by Alisun Franson and developed out of a need for a functional, yet fashionable way to tote things around town on your bike. Now Beatrice Holiday doesn't stop at bike bags but also focuses on covering your bike seats with vintage fabrics and covering yourself with upcycled bicycle inner-tube jewelry ranging from earrings to bracelets.

For this post we're going to focus on Alisun's amazing line of handlebar bike bags we recently got into the store. Not only will these vintage inspired accessories spice up any old ride through the park they will add functionallity to your everyday life. The handlebar bike bag can be secured to your handlebars while crusing and then converted into the perfect shoulder bag for a day of exploration. Who can resist these vintage prints?
