Luxury inherently has a connotation of wastefulness.  From enormous gas-guzzling cars to coats made of rare furs and leathers, the concept of luxury is often synonymous with careless and destructive practices.  Sustainable Luxury was an attempt to subvert this societally ingrained association by creating products using industrial waste as a source material.
