Green is Glam

Celebrities these days seem to go green by wearing recycled accessories. Celebs such as Keira Knightley and Jessica Biel have been spotted wearing the famous Anya Hindmarch's 'I'm Not A Plastic Bag' canvas tote bag. Interested in following the trend? Here are some cute eco-friendly accessories to try!

 

Sailcloth Tote Bag

This bag is actually made from recycled sailcloth, pretty isn't it? And thanks to the durable material, this bag is super sturdy and long lasting. Handmade by Red Flag Design in Vancouver, each bag is unique and bears it's own history which can be traced thru the marks on the bag.

 

Bamboo Boots

These sexy boots are biodegradable. The heels are made of bamboo and regenerative wood. The insole boards use recycled fiber and the outsole is made of rubber latex or compressed fermented oak. These shoes are handcrafted and are designed to be chic, naturally derived, unique, and comfortable.

 

Too Cute Coin Purse

Reuse those cassette tapes! Marcella Foschi, an Italian designer, has this brilliant idea to transform those old cassette tapes to super cute coin purses.

 

Aluminum Handbag

This head-turning handbag is made from over 700 aluminum pull-tabs recycled from soda cans in Brazil. Each bag is individually handcrafted using traditional crochet techniques. Escama Studio produces not only handbags, but also clutches, cosmetic bags, shoulder bags, bracelets and belts, all made of recycled aluminum pull-tabs.

 

A Computer Freak's Jewelleries

 

Acorn Studios of Alberta, Canada has broken the odds and turned old computer parts to really cute and fun jewelleries. Old keyboard keys, floppy disks, diskettes and circuit boards are transformed into earrings, pendants, pins, photo albums, and even clocks! Embrace your inner geek!
