All products by Dear John are handmade from one-hundred-percent recycled fabrics and hardware. The materials have been donated to the artist or purchased from second hand/antique shops or flea markets. All of the belts are made from reclaimed ties, the bags are made from old clothing, hankerchiefs or silk scarves. Dear John products celebrate the beauty of an old fashioned aesthetic, quality craftsmanship and, one-of-a-kind style. No two Dear John products are ever identical. You can even create a custom order by sending in your own materials. For more information about custom orders or placing an order from the website simply email dearjohnmail [!at] yahoo.com
