POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

At SocialVibe, we are huge fans of any movement that helps promote environmental awareness. That includes eco-friendly products, especially when they are not only "green," but not so hard on the eyes either!

Designers are beginning to get really creative with what they are producing - reusing old materials in new, inventive ways that are not only useful but great looking also. Online boutique ecoist.com recently won the Independent Handbag Designer Award for "Most Green Handbag" for their Portfolio, which is handmade entirely out of recycled candy wrappers, food packages, and soda labels!



Some of the other stuff they offer is pretty awesome:



The official "Stop Global Warming" Ecoist bracelets - they are adjustable AND - they plant a tree for every bracelet sold.


A handbag made entirely out of recycled pull-tabs from soda cans!


The Sunshine Handbag is made entirely out of newspaper... who knew your Sunday morning comic strips could look so good.

Fear not, gentlemen, it's not just about girly accessories. They also offer messenger bags, covers for your laptop, card holders, tote bags and more.



Here is a messenger bag made from a RECYCLED BILLBOARDS. They even tell you which movie it was for! (This one was 'Failure to Launch')


A laptop cover from a re-purposed billboard for 'The Departed.'

A wallet from 'Rush Hour 3.'


What about a clock made from a vintage vinyl record??

I think it's pretty amazing that you can buy something this cool that would otherwise be thrown in a dump somewhere. What do you think, would you use these products???

Save the earth! Reduce, reuse and recycle!

Edit: The amazing Kimmy at Ecoist.com is offering all SocialVibe members 15% off of all products! Just enter the coupon code "Socialvibe" when checking out. THANKS ECOIST!!

wow, my school does an annual "Trashion Show" where kids make clothes out of recycled things to be modeled on our runway, and last year one of my friends made an ENTIRE DRESS out of soda can pull-tabs. it was amazing.

poisonedbananar

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

This is a GREAT idea, I'd love to buy a thing or two from that site. The only thing stopping me is their prices. Why should I pay $118 for a clutch made from newspaper? If they want more people to join the eco-friendly movement they don't need to have ridiculous prices for their products made from people's trash. Don't get me wrong, the idea is great and I do love the styles, especially that sunshine handbag.

It's excellent that they're getting more press! I especially love bags that are remade from billboards, though I haven't been able to find a source for billboards? Anyone know where you get them?

Kevin Matthew

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

oh sorry, by them, i don't mean the billboard bag, but rather the actual discarded billboards. Is there a company distributes them for reuse, etc?

JayTee

JayTee says:
POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

Those are AWESOME!!! =] I love it all and I'd totally use it. Infact my girlfriend made me a necklace out of the soda pop-tabs, she put it on an old necklace chain but its still really cool. =]

I love recycled stuff. Save the environment!! <3

Kelsey

Kelsey says:
POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

Some of the purses arent very fashionable, well atleast not to me. But good ideas, I think I might do some DIY to recycle my old clothes or something.
