Clothes made from single use coffee pods


When Mr. T says "I pity the fool", he is actually talking about the people who use those single use coffee pods.


Thankfully, we're lucky to have people like Rachel Rodwell out there. She has created a sustainable textile collection from discarded Nespresso coffee pods called 'Podtex'.

Her All-Consuming collection uses every part of the pods including the colourful casings and the foil lids to make both clothing and jewelry, extending the life of these coffee capsules enormously.


Rachel wanted to create a collection that challenges our ideas of what is waste and what is beautiful and she certainly has done just that.


P.S. Love coffee? Then you'll like this coffee table.

Thats great use of the material....funny I have been developing and art collection of conceptual jewellery based on Nespresso coffee capsules....comment on our consumerism. To clean the capsules and work them to the desirable form takes AGES.....see my website for some images:-) www.noliashakti.com ciao
