Founded in 2006, RetroActif created its first line of fashionable handbags and accessories that appeal to a multitude of personal styles.

This is a line of fun and eye-catching eco-handbags assembled reusing art banners and quality trims.

Street pole banners, giant billboards and wallscapes are used in great quantities to promote products, events and organizations. To withstand the harsh effects of the climate, they are usually made from non-biodegradable materials. Millions are thrown away nationally each year, never to be used again.

As a creative contribution to this ecological concern, RetroActif recycles these materials by creating exclusive accessories.

As unique objects produced in limited editions from a finite number of banners, the bags embody great art and contemporary advertising trends.

By mixing and matching materials, colors and designs, we create functional, durable, and stylish products.

Each model is highly innovative and skillfully crafted, yet refined and designed with a studied simplicity.

The bags, which are made right here in Florida, are individually planned and handmade to take best advantage of the graphics.

The principles of RetroActif's design philosophy are the elements of surprise and modern shapes; shapes that are as relevant tomorrow as they are today.

At RetroActif, we hope to increase attraction to fashion while creating a positive impact on our planet. This is our contribution to promote environmental values in an innovative way.

Social  responsibility

Starting January 1, 2008 RetroActif has adopted a non-profit organization. Contributing positively to our environment and the global community is very important to RetroActif. As a proud supporter of Room to Read, RetroActif contributes a percentage of its sales income to this very worthy non-profit organization.

Room to Read partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries and other educational infrastructure. Room to Read seeks to intervene early in the lives of children in the belief that education is a lifelong gift that empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries and future generations. Through the opportunities that only an education can provide, Room to Read strives to break the cycle of poverty one child at a time.

RetroActif's eco-conscious philosophy goes hand in hand with Room to Read's. We believe that educating today's children will also benefit our environment in the future.

Room to Read was founded with the belief that "World Change Starts with Educated Children"
