My Felt Luggage Tags!

So my felt luggage tags finally came in the mail yesterday! Although they don't smell too hot at the moment, they sure do look great! Each leaf has been laser cut and has the name of the leaf etched on.

Below is what I typed up on a piece of paper that explains what my project is about. Each description is folded and goes inside the packaging, which happen to look like mini suitcases! The packaging is stamped with a fleur de lis, representative of New Orleans, and has stamped on it reNew Orleans.

reNew Orleans
a simple concept for a complicated time

Initially created weeks after Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans, the reNew Orleans slogan became a rallying cry for thousands of displaced citizens as they struggled to rebuild their city.

Ropeadope Records relaunched the campaign to reach more people in need by partnering with three key non-profit organizations in New Orleans - Replant New Orleans for environmental help, Common Ground for rebuilding efforts and the Tipitina's Foundation for musicians' support.

Part of the Proceeds from the sale of these luggage tags and key rings will be donated to reNew Orleans.

Fleur de Leaf Designs:
Luggage Tags and Key Rings

Some of the trees heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana included the:

Red Maple, Southern Magnolia, Southern Catalpa, Slippery Elm, Live Oak, and Water Locust.

The leaves from these trees are beautifully represented as luggage tags and key rings. Made from a renewable resource - eco-friendly 100% wool felt - they are durable and can withstand the elements, yet eye-catching enough to help you navigate your way quickly through baggage claim or just through your pocketbook.
