www.naturaltruebeauty.com “Life is full of beauty. I notice it. I don't search for the beauty in each moment, I create it.” Linda Mendible info@naturaltruebeauty.com
This 2013 Fall collection is inspired by South American style with a Modern twist. I decided to do an eco-conscious collection giving emphasis to Isaiah 61:3 knowing, God gives Beauty for Ashes.
Art is an expression of who we are, a way to find one self or to amplify. I want to push the boundaries and limitations, knowing “All things are possible with GOD” Matthew 19:26. Art and design are a combination of God’s creative gifts that only He has instilled in us. It’s more than passion, it’s more than a calling it’s a profound reflection of beauty.
It’s not about us, or what we can do for GOD. It’s about Jesus and what He’s already done.
This Business Clutch which can also be slung over your shoulder is made from remnant/end of bolt material, the handle is made of wood and would usually be used as a belt and the interior made from reclaimed fabrics.
The collection was shot in the tobacco district of Durham, NC. Although cigarettes are no longer manufactured in Durham, the American Tobacco Historic District preserves the physical legacy of one of America's great entrepreneurial success stories.
This Velvet Clutch is made from up cycled materials. The velvet was once an unused shower curtain.
Once a Pillow Case is now a very Hip Bag, added to it was pops of colorful yarn.
The back of the clutch is also a great way to use those “left behind� pieces.
This unique clutch is made with 100% wool fabric; the zipper used is made from organic cotton and interior and exterior are made with up-cycled materials
This collection is all handmade each piece is unique, and has a slice of eco-friendly design. From the photo above the tote is repurposed from a Mayan inspired pillow case and I just jazzed it up with some yarn and some repurposed, up-cycled materials.
The gorgeous clutch is made from end of bolt materials and up-cycled repurposed fabric adorns its interior. My company’s logo which hangs from the zipper is made from wood; each logo is made from leather.
The Leopard Print Business clutch is made from 100% cotton fabric and 100% silk fabric. It has upholstery tassels and a few necklaces that I have also incorporated to give it more pizazz.
Whether I have found these materials at end of bolt, donated or reinvented, they are each unique, each inspired and truly came together beautifully for this South American modernized collection which I call, Tribal Lux. This collection a mix of Old and New! Thank you, and be blessed!
