Sigita Truksane is the creator of sustainable real newspaper bags created from meaningful memories that express attitude, status, and personality. Sustainability, recycling, upcycling, support to art, zero waste lifestyle are the company's top priorities. Fashion industry's dramatic negative impact on the environment inspired Sigita to create upcycled handbags made from real newspapers and magazines in the attempt to raise awareness in society and try to change people's mindset and habits. These handbags are made from newspapers and magazines printed in the 19th century till today. The handbags include prints and drawings created by various new artists from Latvia, Sigita's home country.

56 million newspapers are printed everyday, and of which only 30% is recycled. To solve this issue, we paint newspapers and magazines with awaterproof, mold-resistant, durable coating and create handbags from this material. Up and coming artists handpaint the bags with pictures and inspirational quotes, or print quotes and drawings as designs. But why newspaper bags? What is the significance? Newspapers and magazines are media devices. Users of our product are wearing these media devices, thus becoming ambassadors, influencers, spreading the idea of sustainable fashion, environment friendly lifestyle, recycling and upcycling, and zero waste lifestyle. The project utilizes magazines and newspapers from different areas of interest, such as fashion, art, business, daily news, sports, cars and other fields.
