This month, Noof Al Shekar, creative director and founder of NS by Noof, previewed a new collection of sustainable handbags made from recycled ocean plastic waste. Ready to be released in late summer 2021, the denim accessories signal a marked departure for Al Shekar, who is best known for bespoke bags made from exotic snakeskin, lambskin, alligator and Italian leathers, and encased in precious metals.
