Aster+Sage loves using material with recycled content to make sweetly designed, handmade accessories. Their philosophy is to design first and then find recycled materials to compliment their vision. Aster+Sage believes that their 'design first' attitude promotes awareness of recycled fabrics in two ways: consumers are exposed to the possibilities of recycled materials, and their products' popularity encourages fabric mills to manufacture material with recycled content. The recycled fabrics in Aster+Sage's product line are polyesters made from reclaimed fabric scraps and soda bottles.
