Reduce, reuse and recycle, as they say. If you’re into 1980s, and 1990s-era Cadillacs, then boy, have we found the bags for you.
Mariclaro, a Canadian handbag, backpack and briefcase designer, offers a suite of bag choices made from vintage automobiles, Cadillac being among them.
There’s a briefcase made from a 1988 Cadillac DeVille, a purse made from a 1993 Cadillac DeVille and even a messenger back stitched to life from a 1995 Cadillac DeVille.
Of course, these aren’t really sought after Cadillac vehicles, but they hold a special place in the hearts of many. But the bags do look great, and come with plenty of information about the vehicle they are sourced from.
All bags show the make, model and VIN of the donating car, along with a stamp of its final refurbishing and design location. If you have a few hundred bucks to drop, you can grab a piece from the Standard of the World, right here.

Hello, SoHo? As long as you’re pursuing fashion, these are nice, (albeit expensive), and have something to do with the brand.
Not a totally new idea – these guys (http://www.freitag.ch) have been repurposing European vehicle bits and bobs for a few years …
Yeah, I know – more crazy talk.
