SCENERY launches its new collection, featuring clutches and accessories made from upcycled materials from Broadway鈥檚 Kinky Boots set, July 10.
The 鈥淪ay Yeah鈥� handbag marks the first item in the collection, made from the red 鈥淢ilan鈥� curtain in the musical鈥檚 finale. This is the same curtain that provided the material for Billy Porter鈥檚 Tony Awards look in June, two months after the musical ended its Broadway run.
Founded by former stage manager Jennifer Kahn, SCENERY recycles materials donated from the sets of Broadway, national tour, and regional productions to create one-of-a-kind handbags and accessories. A portion of the proceeds of all sales go to TDF to support theatre education.
