Chemistry book bag by Rebound Designs I already have one book bag from Caitlin, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It was love at first sight, well almost. I really wanted The Odyssey or The Iliad, but alas they were not available. Old hardcover books are reworked into beautiful handbags.

In two main bursts the Sport Heritage division re-introduces a classic collection of customizable footwear and takes a step forward by adding apparel and accessories to the capsule collection. The original adicolor concept was launched onto the sportswear market at the Ispo Fair in Munich in 1983.
