Designer handbags made from eco-leather


How is Barneys going green? Designers donate water bottles for charity. Plus, check out the latest sexy eco-fashion from Guess.
I know how hard it can be for the green fashionista. You see an "it" bag that everyone has this season and you love it. It's stylish, chic, trendy, everything you want in a bag. There's only one small problem -- it's made out of leather. Fortunately for you, more and more designers are taking part of the green movement and are switching over to eco-leather.

If you don't know what eco-leather is, Green Consumer Guide gives us the definition, "This material is made from 80% cotton and 20% synthetic micro-fibre. Eco-leather shares the same characteristics as ordinary leather, yet has many benefits. Colouring for instance is a much simpler process, and the material does not wear or flake over time."

As an added bonus, eco-leather is sometimes cheaper than regular leather, so aside from just saving the planet, you'll be saving a little money too! But, I do say sometimes, because in the cases of a few designers (such as Stella McCartney) who are already famous for their eco-designs, you're paying for the name, not the material.
