Upcycled Vintage Woodbines Box Necklace

Upcycled Vintage Woodbines Box NecklaceWild Woodbines when smoking was fashionable and cool! Old items always intrigue us and this original cigarette box caught our eye. It dates from the 1930s and the design of the box is intricate with lovely pale, green, dark blue, and brown colours which provided us with the colour palette for the long necklace. Woodbines were made by WD & HO Wills of Bristol and London. A real blast from the past in this age of the plastic vape.
