Vaho Gallery: giving trash a second chance

Vaho is a company based in Barcelona and their products are made out of recycled materials. The colorful handbags made out of advertising PVC canvases are fun and practical, and they come in several designs conceived for different uses (large, small, shopping, travel, work,...). Although they repeat models and shapes, no two bags are exactly the same as Vaho reuses banners which have been hanging from the streetlamps advertising theatre, fairs, exhibits and other events. Bags are made by hand and most of the work is developed at the social rehabilitation workshops in the prison Model of Barcelona and a foundation which works with mentally handicapped people.
