Mielie Short Handbag Rescue Rebuild Designed by Mata Traders andEnjoy a bag that is as unique as you, handmade in South Africa with locally reclaimed fabric. Mielie fabric strips are a cotton mill byproduct purchased once a week by the kilogram from local factories. Because the shades vary weekly and seasonally, Mielie Design crafters never quite know what they're going to end up with. These reclaimed cotton jersey strips are woven into patterns drawn on jute canvas, turning them into useful folk art masterpieces.
