Recycled Memorabilia

New_kids_on_the_block_4
The rumors are true, Hush Shop's favorite childhood boy band, the New Kids on the Block, are back! Their upcoming appearance Friday, April 4th, on the Today Show has inspired me to look for memorabilia from the past in hopes I'll be wearing it to a future concert. There are oodles of goodies on eBay, but I love these one-of-a-kind handbags, both made from vintage bed sheets. Get them before the mania starts.


New_kids_on_the_block_handbag_tot_4

This tote features our favorite brothers Jordan Knight, on one side, and Jonathan Knight, on the other. Measures 12" X 16". Handles are 1 1/2" wide and 22" long. Sheet has been interfaced for stiffness and durability. Grey lining with a small inside pocket. Price: $27 Seedling Textiles Store @ Etsy

New_kids_on_the_block_hobo_handbag
Made from the same New Kids on the Block bed sheet, but in a hobo style, and featuring my favorite New Kid Joey McIntyre on the front, this bag Measures 18" X 13". It's lined with a pale yellow fabric, has 2 pockets on the inside for keys, wallet, or cellphone, and two handle straps. Price: $25 From Fivecats @ Etsy

Seen at Anthrolopolgie: Tano Clutch

Anthropologie has some great handbags and wallets right now. The variety is pretty fantastic, too (leather, fabric, patterned, embellished, and lots of colors).

One clutch, in particular, struck me as being very timeless and stylish. It's the envelope-styled, rose-colored Postal Service Clutch. Measuring 6" x 12" with two compartments, two pockets, and six card slots, it's roomy enough to carry around during the day and small enough to easily transition into a night out. @ Anthropologie for $98

Get It For Less
While I couldn't find it in rose elsewhere, I tracked it down in grey, deep red, gold, and bronze, four colors that will never go out of style. Now for the best part, red and grey are 30% off at Arizona-based Martin's online store. And Must Have Bag is selling the gold and bronze metallic suede versions for $79. Get your favorite one before it's gone!
