MULTIMEDIA MADE TO WEAR, PART II: For the RECORD









Records are abundant in just about ever flea market, thrift and junk store across the country. Countless vinyl aficionados collect those somehow still in playing condition. But many are left to brittle in the bottom of old crates, seemingly useless.

Until recently.

Recycled records are proving to be the hottest new accessory. From handbags to jewelry to hats, vinyl vogue is all the rage.

We uncovered some pretty wicked baubles made from outdated and underplayed records ala Brooklyn's Wrecordsbymonkey and Norbu Designs. Notable from Wrecords are their crafty pendants and earrings and snazzy band and cuff bracelets. Norbu Designs's bold geometric recycled-LP brooches, pendants and necklaces harken back to trends from the oh-so-unforgettable 80s, when vinyl was fast losing pace with the hip new cassette tape.

Designer Gibi and retailer Unique Vintage are among the many manufacturers of record handbags and purses. Also don't miss Gibi's hottie little vinyl winter hats, made in two distinct styles.

Stay tuned for Haberdashery's hot new record-inspired tees, coming soon! Visit our Etsy site for all our newest fashions.
