The world of fashion has just been invaded by an unlikely trend. Schuyler Ellers, who runs the Lord von Schmitt Etsy shop, is now providing beautifully patterned crochet shorts out of recycled materials for the ultra hipster male fashionista in you to don.
Ellers is known for re-purposing materials into wearable items. Most of the fabulous pieces shown here are made of recycled vintage crochet afghans. This is what she has to say:
Afghan blankets are original pieces of folk art, hand made by artisans across America since the 1960’s and well before. With scissors and a sewing machine I transform vintage crochets into wearable sculpture!”
Capris and pants are also available:
