美国女性用废弃狗毛制成高端时尚包

一位名叫多丽丝·卡瓦略的美国女性将宠物美容师捐献的狗毛消毒后制成手包，并配以宝石，时尚大气。每款钱包都是独一无二的。

这些手包都是百分百纯手工制作，多丽丝制作每个手包大约花50个小时。每个手包大概需要2磅狗毛，她坚称成品和其他任何皮草一样柔软。

这些手包每个定价1000美元，不过多丽丝表示，如果产品大批量生产的话，价格一定会大幅下降。

她指出：“这些手包证明，高档产品是可以做到生态友好的。”

Doris Carvalho, an entrepreneur from Tampa, has come up with an original way of combining her two greatest passions – veterinary science and fashion. She recycles dog hair that’s left over from grooming, converting it into high-end designer purses.

Doris loves her new job so much that she hopes to convert it into a business – she’s currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise $15,000 toward that exact purpose. That’s just enough money to make her first line of 30 purses and pay for marketing.

“These handbags prove that high-end can be made eco-friendly from your pet for you,” she pointed out. “I turn this groomed dog fur that would be garbage anywhere else in the world into these handbags. I sterilize and I use them to make the thread, the yarn. It’s reused, recycled.”

The purses are all 100 percent handmade, and it takes Doris about 50 hours to complete each one. She needs around two pounds of fur per purse and she insists that the completed item is as soft as any other fur. They’re priced at $1,000 apiece, but she says that the price would go down significantly if the products were to ever go into mass production. “I hope in the future I can make it cheaper and sell much cheaper for everyone,” she said.
