Chic, unique and fashionable handbags created from recycled and eco-friendly materials.
Each minute, over one million plastic bags are consumed worldwide. No wonder, then, that the environmental damage associated with plastic shopping bags has become a burning issue in recent times.
Plastic shopping bags are no less than a plague in the world today. They flutter in the breeze over our cities; hang from branches in the parks; clog our sewers; and form massive “patches” in our oceans.
Individuals, communities and governments all over the world are today sitting up and taking notice of the menace to our environment from the plastic shopping bag.
A virtual cottage industry has developed in less privileged communities in many parts of Asia and Africa. People there have been harvesting and recycling discarded plastic shopping bags for quite some time to create aesthetically wonderful and useful household items – even shopping bags.
Supporting their effort can go a long way to protect the environment, at the same time helping these communities sustain themselves.
Some eminent designers have drawn inspiration from these eco-friendly alternatives and launched collections of their own.
When you buy them, you can have the satisfaction of doing your bit for a greener planet.

By the way, have you guys thought of a handbag on this theme?
When I first saw this bag your website, I was a bit suspicious about its authenticity. It was supposed to be made with natural flowers and foliage, and it was beyond my imagination that a bag made by pasting natural dried flowers and leaves could be as sturdy as any handbag. It seemed to be faux flowers or a good print at best. So I wasn’t ready for such a pleasant surprise when I got my hands on it. It was far more beautiful than the photograph in your website, and tough as well! I cannot tell you how many compliments I have got for it.
