GREEN is definitely IN. From property development, to hybrid cars, to garments and accessories, people (buyers and sellers alike) are starting to realize that they need to be more pro-active when it comes to taking care of mother earth. Because…well, we only have one mother earth, and there is no spare in case it wears out because of our neglect.

So for the fashionistas out there who want to go green, but don’t know where to start, here’s one baby step you can take – invest in repurposed bags!

Repurposed bags are made of recycled materials such as newspapers, magazines, old candy wrappers, and even match sticks! It may sound a little odd and perhaps you’re worried the bag might not look wearable at all, but get ready to be surprised. Because these repurposed bags actually look fashionable.

Here are 3 repurposed bags you might want to consider purchasing. These are not only repurposed, but they are woven as well! Woven repurposed bags bring a whole new meaning to the term “woven bag”, as it offers a different take on the usual bag in woven straw or leather.
