A
Doris Carvalho，a woman from Tampa，America，has come up with an original way of combining her two greatest passions— veterinary science(兽医学) and fashion.She recycles dog hair and changes it into highend designer handbags.
Doris loves her new job so much that she hopes to change it into a business—she's currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise D|S15，000 toward that purpose.That's just enough money to make her first line of 30 handbags and pay for marketing.
“These handbags prove that highend can be made eco friendly from your pet for you，” she pointed out. “I turn dog hair that would be rubbish anywhere else in the world into these handbags.I use it to make the thread.It's reused and recycled.”
It takes Doris about 50 hours to complete each one handbag without any machines.She needs about two pounds of fur per handbag and she insists that the completed handbag is as soft as any other fur.It is priced at D|S1，000，but she says that the price would go down if the products were to ever go into mass production. “I hope in the future I can make it cheaper and sell much cheaper for everyone，” she said.
We aren't sure how well these handbags are selling，but according to Jaime Calderbank，owner of One Lucky Dog in St Petersburg，it all depends on how much people are willing to display their love for their dogs. “I think a few of them that really love their dogs would like something like that，” she said.
Doris has managed to raise just D|S350 ever since she started the campaign，but she has 50 days to reach her D|S15，000 goal. “I hope people who like the campaign can help，” she said. “Any contribution is welcome.”
