Fashion + Function

Canadian designers  Nathan Lee and Trevor Coghill at Contexture Design have created a rather pretty bracelet.
Pretty, but if it wasn't for its "double life", it wouldn't have made it here.

The environmentally friendly bracelet below not only adds a clean touch of elegance to a simple outfit, it is also molded from reclaimed architectural veneer offcuts to double as a coffee sleeve.

Yes, coffee sleeve.
Just like the cardboard ones we pick up at the coffee shops so we don't burn our fingers when holding a hot cuppa, but prettier. The heat-resistant Coffee Cuff comes in different types of wood, the pictured one is Black Walnut with Anegre.
