Shop Nora Shoulder Bags from Mona B | Up-cycled & Re-milled Canvas | Together We Can::Waste No More
A fresh new and bold line that's fashionably chic and sustainable, blending the best of urban American fashion trends. We exemplify free-spirited, adventure...with a little panache. We appreciate an artful combo of fashion and function. Each upcycled canvas bag in the Mona B Collection is an exclusive one-of-a-kind creation, made with carefully selected wedges of upcycled and durable truck tarps and military tents sunbaked, weathered and cured from the Indian deserts and jungles. The wedges are then hand-stitched and screen printed to tell a unique story with an adventurous flair. A Mona B collection brings out the best of intrigue, innuendo, and inspiration in every piece it creates.

CANVAS RE-IMAGINEDAfter years of use by the army, covering trucks as tarps and providing shelter as tents, this textile is given new life. We innovated a process to break down and reweave the post-consumer military canvas into a new, zero-waste fabric. We call it: Mona B Re-Milled | ZERO-WASTE MANUFACTURINGUsing sustainable materials we are able to produce accessories and home furnishings without additional waste. Every inch of wastage and excess materials is repurposed for design accents, details and small constructional components for the items we sell in our catalog. | REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINTThe paper that we use for our printed catalogs are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) managed. This means it comes from sustainably managed forests. Also, our in-house upcycling program reduces waste and creates a more efficient work environment. | LOW-IMPACT PACKAGINGWe ship our products using recycled cardboard cartons, conserving the energy and water associated with making new cartons. We will continue our search for the most sustainable way to bring you our merchandise. |
