Recycled Glossy Fashion Mag Bags!

How many magazines have you stacked in a pile for that rainy day that never seems to come?

You want to read them, but your crazy work schedule keeps getting in the way.

You don't want to waste them, though, because you're well aware of all the cool things that a greenie can do with those glossy pages.

THIS, however, is something that I never imagined doing with my old copies of Vogue and Marie Claire but now it's all I can think about!!

In fact, it's so clever that I can't stand it (no really, I can...I'm just a little jealous that I didn't come up with it myself ;)

Taiwanese fashion designer Ancaroll sells a great colorful collection of these divinely simple pocketbook clutches via "Babook's Shop" on Etsy for an average of $20 each.

The brilliance is in the "why didn't I think of that" concept. A retired mag that becomes a totally green bag. Genius!!

While it's not a good idea to take these out for a spin during a torrential downpour, Ancaroll has selected the most waterproof pages, so you'll have a little insurance policy against inclement weather.

I love being constantly surprised and blown away by the resourcefulness of designers and artists, don't you?
