In response to the growth of plastic pollution worldwide, Jianhui London created a jewelry and fashion range made entirely out of discarded plastic bottles. This collection was handmade to have the smallest carbon footprint possible, with no extra energy used in its production. This Rainbow Fringe Jacket is made from recycled plastic water bottles, with each fringe element cut, shaped and painted by hand.
