These bags are made employing drinking straws that an Ugandan community of disadvantaged women reclaims from dumpsites. Thousands of drinking straws are recycled, sterilized and braided in long rolls. They are then used by the women to make mats, bags, even shoes. Carmina Campus bought some rolls from the community and designed trunk bags and tote bags with this material, matching it with handles made of braided leather, reclaimed from a bag manufacturer.
