Needles and Kims Spotlight

Needles and Kims is a shop on Etsy that can pride itself on being Eco Friendly! They exclusively use re-purposed materials to make purses and cuffs.

These cuffs are intricately fabricated and designed and each one is unique. I love this look for it's originality and delightful feminine quality.

This adorable upcycled purse with vintage buttons is my favorite! I love the fact that is is made from something old and given an entirely new life! "Stitching New Beginnings from the Past" is Needles and Kims motto and which they live up to with their fantastic creations!



Needles and Kims has graciously offered $15 off anything in shop as well as free shipping for all of A Handmade Revolution's followers! Just let her know before your purchase so she can make a custom sale for you!
