Vinyl Record Purses and Candy Wrapper Clutches

I stumbled upon this nifty site called “Eco-Handbags.ca” a couple of months ago and have been wanting to share this. It’s a Montreal-based online store whose aim is to bring you the cream of the crop of online handbags made of recycled materials. From carpet to truck tires, the bags are as chic as they are unique. I was actually given a snazzy record vinyl purse for Christmas 2 years ago as a gift and I’ve dragged it around all summer long and gotten many compliments on it.

The record purse is now a popular commodity featuring old records cut and punched onto wooden planks on either side, with the original cover on one side, and the vinyl record on the other. It makes for great conversation piece for one thing, and it’s durable as heck. However there are several businesses that have spawned record purses, mine came from Brokenrecorddesigns (they’re cheaper too).

And how about that candy wrapper clutch? Isn’t it cute?

Eco-Handbags spreads awareness of the importance of saving the environment as a member of 1% For The Planet, where 1% of sales are donated to non-profit organizations helping the cause.

So if you’re looking for something really unique for the holidays, I suggest giving this site a go. You can still give a sweater for Christmas, it just might look a little different.
