One Fashion Designer Is Using Waste to Create Handbags, Wallets and Clothes

— -- One London-based fashion designer is taking items like McDonald's bags, IKEA bags and recycled Apple products to create fashionable, wearable items.

Alexandra Hackett and her brand ALCH have created these one-of-a-kind items.

"My practice focuses on appropriating the function of preexisting textiles -- often materials that are not traditionally associated with the fashion industry -- into apparel and accessory design," Hackett, 24, told ABC News. "My work explores the concept of the body as a product and clothing as a form of product packaging."

Hackett said although she's used many items, often considered as waste, there's one textile that she's dying to get her hands on: NASA space foil.
