The first time we spotted a handbag from Nahui Ollin we thought, “Now there’s a sleek and funky little wristlet; sophisticated and fun!” With a great checkerboard pattern of bright colors and a sturdy little shape, we thought it might be just the thing to carry when traveling light for a night on the town.

Stylish bags with a little secret.

As we picked it up for a closer look we realized the unlikely source of the look that caught our eye; candy wrappers. The texture and color in each Nahui Ollin bag comes from an ancient Mayan weaving technique that is still practiced by artisans in Mexico using modern materials. What could have been waste becomes practical and stylish. Misprinted candy wrappers and labels, once destined for the landfill, are transformed to the point where it took a tag to let us know just what these nifty bags are made of.

Woven with whimsy.

Today we have $50 vouchers to shop at the online Nahui Ollin retail boutique. As a special feature today, you can purchase multiple vouchers - which we will combine for you into a single code - to buy just about any bag on the site.

Made in Mexico with mucho amor.

Designer Olga Abadi realized the enormous potential to reduce waste and get great style, so she designed a line of bags that use traditional techniques to create handbags that appeal to modern women. Each bag is made by a single artisan in Mexico and takes up to 4 days to create. The bags use anywhere from 150 to 4,000 wrappers, representing a lot of skill and a lot of recycling!

It may take days to make a Nahui Ollin bag, but it’s simple to buy one. Just shop their line and see what you like, then buy vouchers from jasmere to use at their checkout. Whether you go with a wristlet or a big tote, you’ll get a wearable work of art.

Bold color, great shapes.

Color palettes range from bold to subtle. Black and white, multi color, or hues of purple, blue or gold; the finishing details of a great little zipper and nice leather accents are polished and secure. They are incredibly sturdy. We still can’t figure out how they weave these bags with such a neat finish, inside and out, but that’s part of their charm.

With shapes and sizes ranging from small accessories to full-sized totes and messenger bags, this line covers a lot of uses. Carrying a bag from Nahui Ollin allows you to express a bit of wit and whimsy in a stylish way. Depending on which pattern you choose, the source of your elegant accessories can be undetectable to onlookers. All they’ll see is a great little bag with a really unique look.

 "Our unique process ensures that no two bags are the same, so you are truly getting a one-of-a-kind piece that you know is helping to cut down on landfills and reduce emissions."
