Cool Planet would like to introduce you to Rebagz™ Eco-Chic Handbags. They are as forward thinking as they are fashion forward, transforming everyday items headed for the trash heap into beautiful handbags, messenger bags, totes, clutches, and coin purses. They introduced their award-winning bag line, made from recycled juice packs and nylon rice sacks, in July 2007. Some carried rice and grains to the market. Others use to be your kids favorite fruit juice box. But after those jobs were done, these sacks and packs were just too colorful to throw away. So instead they were rescued and transformed into these whimsical bags, handmade especially for you, by a wonderful women’s cooperative in the Philippines.

Now just wear, enjoy - and recycle!
