The foodie fashion appears to be part of the Plastic Reborn Project in which she takes familiar plastic packaging bags that most would consider trash and transforms it into a new treasure with a little bit of creativity, time and skill.
Using the packaging that we’re familiar with, adding a bit of thought, creativity, time, and skills, we can prolong its ‘life line’. Recreating what we regard as trash into a new items; transforming keepsakes into belongings we can carry around, is how we can give new life to old items and help the environment.
