Hello,
I am a native local Hispanic female artist. In addition, I am a retired Executive in the fashion & beauty industry. I was forced into retirement 14 years ago when I endured a spinal injury that left me disabled.
My company is called SUEÑOS de SAUNDRA Upcycled Collection. I make purses, jewelry boxes and storage/keepsake boxes out of recycled cigar boxes. In addition, 25-45% of the embellishments on my creations are recycled material as well.
SUEÑOS de SAUNDRA Upcycled Collection
SMOKING FASHION, BEAUTIFING THE WORLD WHILE HELP SAVING THE EARTH
This item is an ORIGINAL, HANDMADE item from Sueños de Saundra Upcycled Collection. All boxes/purses are 100% recycled cedar cigar boxes. In addition, 25-45 % of the embellishments are recycle material. Therefore, you may see minor character imperfections due to being recycled material. Which I embrace since life is full of imperfect moments. However, still beautiful. All boxes are initialed & numbered. Sueños is Spanish for Dreams. I am Saundra these items are my Dreams & Labor of Love.
All jewelry box & purse joints/seams are reenforced with adhesive for durability and may be visible. Most of the cigar companies' original labels are still on. However, all smoking warning stickers have been removed. You may see some slight residual of the stickers left so not to damage boxes further. All items are one of a kind, the boxes are rare, hard to find recycled cigar boxes.
