UrthBags ~ Eco-Chic Handbags Made from Recycled Materials

Everything old CAN be new again, and another company (UrthBags) is stepping up to the plate with a range of pocketbooks that repurpose very common materials in eye-pleasing ways.

Their collection of recycled magazine bags are different from what one Greenwala member recently posted about because these are made waterproof via salvaged exterior plastic (unlike the other design which has to be kept out of the rain).

Available in 5 different styles, no two designs will ever be alike since UrthBags harvests entirely different magazine pages for each.

That same principle applies to their woven recycled newspaper bags (available in 3 styles) and their recycled telephone book bag (pictured above and available in just one style…but it’s cool).

With bags being made out of candy/snack bar wrappers, juice pouches and even old umbrellas, I can’t wait to see what designers are going to think of next!
