UrthBags, Beautiful Bags Reusable and Recycled

Inspiration for our articles comes from many different places and last week I found a great company that inspired me to logon and write;

My inspiration came when I was “Googling” for recycled bags and purses, buried on the second page of my Google search was a name that just jumped out at me… UrthBags with a cool sounding description:

“Eco-Chic Purses & Handbags Made From Recycled Materials. UrthBags are hip purses & handbags made with a purpose”

Needless to say I was intrigued and a click later I was surfing through a wonderful site filled with beautiful handbags and purses all made from recycled materials. My husband and I put as much of our waste plastic, newspapers, magazines etc, into the recycle bin but we never get to see where they go or what they become. UrthBags takes these everyday recyclables and creates truly inspirational accessories. The company was founded by Monica Ralli and they are based in Hungtington Beach, CA and I have already placed several of their creations on my Christmas list. (I hope my Hubby is taking notes!)


The list of materials used to make the handbags and purses is astonishing, UrthBags take everyday recyclables such as juice boxes, telephone
books and newspapers, seashells, fashion magazines and coconuts and turn them into wonderful fashion accessories that cater to a wide range of tastes. I was going to include individual pictures of each of the handbags and purses but felt it was easier to show them off by creating a video.
