Houston-based Scenery Bags, the popular fashion brand with an eco-friendly approach, just launched a new line of jewelry titled "For the love of the stage," which pays tribute to the world of theater.
Debuting in time for Earth Day, the line features sterling silver earrings and rings, each piece includes an oval cut from a retired Broadway stage. This innovative concept brings a bit of history and glamor to everyday style, allowing theater enthusiasts to carry a piece of Broadway with them wherever they go.
The new jewelry line is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that each piece is unique and of the highest quality. The earrings and rings are casual enough to wear daily and will add a touch of whimsy to any outfit.
The "For the love of the stage" is aimed at those who appreciate the art of theater and want to show their love for it through fashion.The brand's CEO and Founder, Jennifer Kahn, who has 17 years of experience in the theater industry, expressed her excitement about the new line, telling CultureMap, "This line is so special to me. It's over a year in the making. I love the idea that you can carry on the dreams that went into a Broadway show."
Scenery Bags has already made a name for itself with its sustainable and eco-friendly approach to fashion. The brand upcycles retired theatrical materials from Broadway, national tours, and regional theaters, diverting over 30,000 pounds of theatrical material from landfills to date—additionally, the company partners with several theater-based nonprofits to give back to the theater community.
Kahn, a Woodlands resident, shared her gratitude for being able to do all of this work in Houston. "Our bags are handmade in Houston, and our stage floors are cut and sealed here as well. I'm so lucky to do all this work in my backyard."
The line is now available for purchase on the Scenery Bags website, giving fashion and theater lovers a chance to own a piece of history while positively impacting the industry
