If you thought you'd it all when it comes to repurposed eco projects, from old tires as totes to metal ammunition jewelry, think again, as Sleeping Bags is truly an innovative idea. "Retired hotel bed and table linen is recycled to make hotel accessories such as laundry bags, suit carriers, soft furnishings and premium shopping bags," one of their supports, Business in the Community's (BITC) arc program, wrote on its website.
Based in London, United Kingdom, Sleeping Bags also uses the artwork from local artisans, making it have double the social and environmental value. The artwork itself is a whimsical and light mix, calling on inspiration from only the most artistically inclined boutique hotel. With Sleeping Bags, almost everything is a dream.
