Hi Sara,
I'm up in Canada so I can't tell you in person but this is all so wonderfully amazing. I love your story and I am blown away by your products. You are a creative genius! I am proud to be an owner of Upcycled products.

Love, Ann

SB*Upcycled is one person's impressive contribution to the needed effort to reduce the vast amount of plastic that is thrown "away"; away being the lands and the oceans that can't begin to absorb this long-lasting material. What's needed is a consciousness of the mess discarded plastic material is making for the environment. SB*Upcycled is not only contributing to this need, but also doing it in a practical and artistic way. The products are useful, good looking, and environmentally sound. What more can one ask!

I love the fun and spunky purse and wallet I bought from Sara Bella* Upcycled! People often comment about how much they like my purse and they like it even more when I tell them it's made from reused plastic bags. I'm impressed with how sturdy they have remained despite their daily use. Sara is a delight; I'm thrilled to be supporting such a creative, valuable and unique enterprise.

I love my Sara Bella bag! It is cool, conscious, functional and darn cute! I'm a gal on the go and am none too careful with my nifty little bag so it's been rained on and stuffed in a bag and taken to the farmer's market and thrown in the car with dogs and kid and it still looks fab! And everyone says...oooh where did you get that bag? What more can I say???

Dear SaraBella: I love my "upcycled" wallet and shopping bags--to paraphrase the American Express ad--I never leave home without them. Thanx.

It's not a Tote. It is Art; a Sara Wiener original. Sara is a gifted artist with a deep love of the world and all creatures who inhabit it. Buy one. Use it. Treasure it. Share with others. Buy another.

Who would have thought that I could get compliments on a wallet? I have had retail clerks stop me in mid payment and ask where I got such a cool wallet. They are even more impressed when I tell them it is from recycled materials. I like that it is very slim and lightweight.
