Absolutely striking and infused with culture, this statement contemporary cuff bangle is a wearable piece of nostalgic pop art. Crafted from clear perspex, the wide open-ended cuff showcases an inner lining made from a vintage "Agarbatti & Co" incense label, once used to package fragrant sticks in Bombay (now Mumbai), India.

The label is bright and eye-catching, dominated by bold red and yellow tones with text in multiple scripts—Devanagari (Hindi), Urdu, and English—celebrating India's linguistic richness. The graphics include traditional motifs such as a red incense pot brimming with flowers, further emphasizing the heritage theme. The words "MADE IN INDIA" and "BOMBAY 9" speak to its old-school origin, giving the piece an air of retro authenticity.

This cuff is part of a wave of eco-conscious design—upcycled fashion with a purpose. By preserving and presenting this piece of cultural packaging ephemera, the designer transforms everyday throwaway print into an avant-garde fashion statement. The juxtaposition of sleek modern perspex with the aged, textural label creates a compelling contrast that bridges the worlds of memory and modernity.
