One look at Zansus purses and you will find it hard to believe that the textiles used to create these beautiful, one-of-a-kind purses were actually destined for the landfill! Environmentally resourceful fashion designers, Sushanta Bhandarkar and Naz Saeed, the powerful duo behind Zansus, instill the “Cradle to Cradle” philosophy, meaning that nothing gets wasted, and all materials used are given a new life.
“It's a pure rescue, re-use, re-purpose, re-cycle, re-think effort.”
San Francisco-based Zansus purses, totes, and clutches are all carefully designed and hand-made in the USA with discarded materials from the upholsters table before they ultimately end up in the landfill. As a green business, the fabrics that are left unused are donated to various Resource organizations such as RAFT, ScrapSF.
In addition to creating a line of beautiful, up-cycled purses, Sushanta and Naz work as environmental educators. 10% of the proceeds will go to an Environmental Education Program called EMPOWERING WORLD CHANGE. (www.empoweringworldchange.com).
Zansus’ creations will not only express your own unique style but you will be supporting a worthy cause!
