Upcycled Poketo Giveaway

What’s cooler than leather and greener than recycled materials? This is no riddle, we’re talking about hipster brand Poketo’s upcycled leather envelopes, wallets and accessories. Leather may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of summer, but there’s certainly no chicer way to travel if you’ve got vacation plans!

We’ve rounded up a few of the best recycled leather goods we could find and we think you’ll like them too. Some of our favorite finds come from Esty’s amazing shops, so we’ve included a few of our favorite vintage and restyled selections from there. Etsy shops never fails to surprise us!
