Clean out that purse of yours. Go on, just do it. Notice all of those candy wrappers stuffed in the hidden side pockets? Someone decided to put those to use. That certain "someone" consists of the creative team behind Ecoist, the planet friendly, fashion forward company based on the design of three women from Mexico, Chile, and Miami.
Made from wrappers that are misprinted or just discarded, these bags are little gems that need to be shown off. Bags come in three sizes, from coin purse to the "Everything/Anything" (or the "Double Coiner") bag and the clutch. Prices range from $38-$148, and the favorites right now are the Luna Clutch, made from Luna Bar wrappers, and the Confetti Bag. Save on your shipping fees by stopping by the Blue Elephant Boutique on North Lamar in the Central Park Shopping Center. Treat yourself to piece of recycled culture that not only looks good, but won't fall apart.
