'It’s the perfect way to have your room key and a credit card close to you while still being hands-free. You can wear it on your arm or ankle, whichever way looks the best with your fit.'

sat down with Jamie Dawes, one of the founders of Frankie Collective, to find out where the brand got the idea for these bags and how are they made.Frankie Collective has been recycling clothing through the process of reworking, for five years. Prior to this, Jesse and Drew Heifetz [the other founders of Frankie Collective] started their first recycled clothing label over 15 years ago. The company began through the sourcing and selling of popular vintage clothing.
For the arm/ankle bags, we needed to find jackets or pants that had a small enough logo in order to fit on the flap. We never know if a style is going to sell well or not, so we love to try small runs of things to test the waters. But the response with this bag was incredible. It's such a unique piece and probably something that no one has in their wardrobe. We are so thankful that we are able to experiment and try out new designs like this just for the fun of it.
When you think of upcycling you often think of DIY at-home projects. We wanted to take this meaningful technique and bring it to the concept of sportswear and luxury fashion, which is the furthest thing from DIY. We’re provoking people to think eco by creating the clothing they want and adding the bonus of sustainability.We designed it right after our leg bag. Trying to discover unique ways to wear a bag besides the regular handheld.
When we first designed it we didn't see enough function in it so we pushed it aside to work on other projects. It came back into our minds when we were at the pool and didn't want to carry a bag around. It’s the perfect way to have your room key and a credit card close to you while still being hands-free. You can wear it on your arm or ankle, whichever way looks the best with your fit.The possibilities are endless. You can wear it around your arm at the gym.
