#luisacevese

Who would have thought that old scraps and threads could be so stunning?  Only Luisa Cevese could see such potential in such useless pieces of fabric.  The simple fact that she had an idea to reuse the scraps that most people would toss and create something so beautiful blows my mind.  She is an amazing woman that wanted to find a home for the abandoned pieces of art and she did that through 11 (eleven).   When she first mixed the textile scraps with plastic there was nothing else like it in the world.   However, that wasn’t enough for her she had to take that material and make a piece of art from it in the form of a bag.  Since first opening she has expanded and now creates anything from rugs and lights to hand bags and placemats.  Her creativity is boundless and I knew as soon as I entered her showroom today that I was not leaving without at least one piece to call my own.  I simply adored this experience and I hope that it inspires everyone to find the beauty in everything around them.  If Luisa Cevese can find exquisiteness in a shred of leftover textile then you should be able to find it everywhere.
