Billboards and bike tires are far from typical handbag materials, but they’re integral parts of GG2G’s environmentally-friendly fashion accessories.

GG2G stands for Green Goods 2 Give & 2 Get, a green accessories company created by Alison Grieveson and Dayan “Day” Moore. Their handbags, along with belts and pillows, look fabulous and keep tons of trash from becoming landfill every year.

Vinyl billboards provide a colorful bag base. Bicycle inner tunes are perfect for detailed work, and recycled Kevlar helps to reinforce the corners. The green designers even recycle the water used to wash the vinyl!

“Once we decided to use billboard, that’s when we really kicked in to high gear,” Ms Grieveson said. “People are just excited about the materials. Each piece is unique and it’s different and it’s funky. Each piece is like a piece of art.“

This enthusiastic response has seen GG2G purses sold in boutique stores and museum gift shops across the United States. The company now manufactures 17 different purses across their three ranges.

The popular billboard bags come from the Revinylized collection. Chicnik purses are made from vintage fabrics and organic cottons. For something extra special, browse the Fluxure handbags. These beautiful purses combine high-fashion sensibilities with an eco-friendly ethos.

We all want to be a little greener, but no one wants to pay through the nose to do it. Thankfully GG2G’s environmentally-friendly purses are kind to our wallets too. The most expensive purse is just $140, and the cheapest a mere $10!

Love her or hate her, everyone has an opinion about John McCain’s Republican running mate, Sarah Palin. And now you can steal her style with a handbag designed with the gun-toting Alaskan governor in mind.

South Carolina bag designer Lissa Kemp Myers, owner of In the Bag, has created the “Sarah” to capture the personality and style of the mother of five and vice presidential candidate.

The Sarah is a medium purse made from metallic green leather, a shade chosen to Ms Palin’s love of the great outdoors. The spacious interior represents Sarah’s playful side with its hot pink satin lining.

“And, of course, we had to add two side pockets to hold those adorable eye glasses she sports, as well as that very important lipstick she can’t be without!” Ms Myers quipped.

The Sarah will cost $230 from In the Bag. If you’re not a Sarah Palin fan, perhaps the Cindy or Michelle will be more to your tastes. These beautiful bags honoring the prospective first ladies will also be available through the In the Bag website.

This casually cool satchel from Francesco Biasia is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your everyday wardrobe.

It’s made of a lightweight nylon fabric which is ruched for a fun casual look. It’s trimmed with synthetic leather in a complementary shade. I love this subtle silver metallic handbag, but there’s a great range of colors to suit all tastes. Lace-up details on the straps and bold gold hardware help to spice up this youthful purse.

This spacious satchel has plenty of room to hold your wallet, sunglasses, keys, personal technology, and other everyday essentials. They’ll stay safe inside thanks to the top zip closure. The satin-lined interior is simple to maximize your storage room, although the addition of a zippered pocket is a handy touch. Two deep open pockets on the outside are ideal for stashing those goodies you need in easy reach.

Charlotte Gainsbourg has made a dazzling appearance in Balenciaga’s Fall 2008 ad campaign.

The French singer and actress has the perfect pedigree for the role. She’s the daughter of Hermes muse Jane Birkin, and the best friend of Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière. But as this beautiful photo shows, Charlotte’s clearly become the face of the handbag giant on her own merits.

“For me, she is one of the most inspiring girls in the world,” Nicolas Ghesquière said in a statement. “She’s really representative of what France is today. She was always so modern in her choices and her way of being. She’s so iconic for me.“

Charlotte takes the mantle from last year’s Balenciaga star, American actress Jennifer Connolly. The choice of actresses over traditional models may puzzle some, but Nicolas says it all makes sense.

“They are used to playing characters and going deeper into the image. There’s definitely a celebrity effect when you shoot an actress. There’s a real frisson,” he explained.

It’s a risk that has paid off. These photographs are nothing short of stunning.

This striking B. Makowski handbag really makes a statement. Carry it with confidence and you’ll definitely stand out in a crowd.

Vibrant leather swatches overlap for this dazzling patchwork design. I’d never have imagined that forest green, lemon, tan, beige, and chocolate brown could work together, but the way these colors clash only adds to the bag’s appeal. Round silver studs in the corner of each patch completes this contemporary look.

I only wish the patches extended to the back of the bag too. But the basic brown side isn’t all bad. It features two zippered pockets for secure storage space at your fingertips. An additional three pockets inside the generous interior allow you to carry plenty inside this impressive purse!

Dual handles and a removable strap ensure carrying this chic bag is always comfortable, whether it’s in your hands or slung over your shoulder.

More Features of This B. Makowsky Patchwork Handbag

• Leopard print lining
• A platform base
• Dual handles with a 4 inch drop
• A single shoulder strap with a 9 inch drop
• Measures 14 x 11 x 6 inches

This beautiful Coach wristlet is guaranteed to attract compliments with its subtle feminine design and cute dragonfly motif.

We’re all familiar with Coach’s popular signature print, but I’ve never seen it in these beautiful muted tones. The pale tan, ivory, and gray Cs look so much more elegant than the bold logos I’m used to. This pastel print is paired with a stunning embroidered dragonfly. With woven metallic wings and a striking jewel body, it’s a thing of rare beauty.

The signature fabric has been treated to repel stains and water, so it’ll stay in tip-top condition for years to come. This striking material is complemented by natural tan leather corners and a matching strap.

The zip top closure reveals a fully lined interior with just enough space for the daily essentials. It may not look like it, but you’ll easily fit some credit cards, loose change, a lipstick, and even a small cell phone inside.

This pretty purse is ideal when you’re travelling light, or you can clip it to a larger bag to maximize your storage on the go.
