A Handbag from Recycled Newspaper

Recycled handbag
 

The Sun handbag is unlike any designer bag you've ever owned: it's made from recycled newspaper.

The bag has a zipper closure and an exterior side zipper pocket for quickly stashing away change.

If you are worried that the bag is not sturdy enough, don't be. The recycled newspaper base is coated with a natural varnish and woven sparkle-filled jute.

The bag retails for $250 from Ecoist. www.ecoist.com
