Environmentally Fashionable

A reader (and fellow handbag enabler) sent me an interesting link to Ecoist Bags. The designer makes a collection of bags made from recycled snack bags, soda labels, and candy wrappers. They are surprisingly cute, and make a great conversation piece.

I like the clutches (which come with matching wristlets) and basket totes in particular. All the bags are unique and handmade, taking each artist 2-5 days to produce. Ecoist also works with Global ReLeaf and plants a tree for every bag purchased. So now you can buy a bag and feel like you’re contributing in some small way to the environment!

Thanks to Jessica for the great link.
