This Samina bag is fun, fresh, and is good for the planet because  it’s made of recycled plastic bags, which are a huge environmental hazard.

Handmade by cooperatives in India, the project collects plastic bags that litter the streets and neighborhoods of New Delhi.

The process is a renewing process which uses a fraction of the energy of recycling, where layers of different color plastic bags are placed on top of each other and fused together. The lining is made of polyester, and the trim of rexine/vinyl.  In addition to recycling plastic, the process does not require additional dyes or inks which may be toxic.  

In case you don’t already know, eco-fashion is hip and it’s in.  Be it clothes, shoes or accessories.  Made from recycled soda pops, licensed plates to bottle caps.  And here’s another to add to the collection.

Eco-friendly handbags and purses handmade from recycled candy wrappers.  Totally stylish, functional, and durable.  Check them out at Ecoist.

I am not one who have ever given Korean branded handphones a second look but still, I got a bit excited with this piece of news that LG and Prada have announced that they are working together to develop a co-branded handset to be launched in early 2007.  And what’s interesting to know is that the LG/Prada phone is said to have a touch-screen interface with no keys.

Eco-fashion bags made using recycled license plates, rubber and bottle caps with hundreds of hand applied Swarovski crystals.  Creating an amazing one-of-a-kind bag that looks great with everything from jeans to evening wear.
