Upcycled Christmas buntings

Chennai-based Oh Scrap Madras founded by researcher Dominique Lopez and designer Priyanjoli Basu, which is known for upcycling discarded fabric scraps into striking fashion accessories and home decor items, has the perfect range of Christmas decor for you. Basu shares, "At our pop-ups in different cities, our Christmas decor was a massive hit. The lockdown allowed us to extend this reach through social media. We wanted to provide people with cute upcycled alternatives to help reduce their plastic waste while keeping the festive spirit intact." Here are a few of our favourites from their collection:
