Eco-friendly Reiter8
Katherine is a local Brooklyn designer based in Cobble Hill. She makes recycled totes, purses and pillows from sailboat sails under the label Reiter8. Why 8s? She wanted her company name to reflect that she’s recycling and the word ‘reiterate’ was a good fit. We really love her eco-friendly design principles.
Check out some of Katherine’s favorite DIY sources in the city:
Pacific Trim: 218 West 38th Street - A great source
for purse hardware (buckles, feet, sliders) and handles.
Dayton Trim (an obvious choice but nonetheless worth
mentioning. and for inspiration:
Kinokuniya Bookstore at their new location at 6th
Avenue between 40th and 41st Street,across from Bryant
