The photos don't do these amazing purses justice. I saw them at a boutique and met the owner. The first thing I thought of is all my friends on 'This Next' as you are the hippest bunch of shoppers and gift finders on the planet.

All Cosmic Bobbins creations are organically handcrafted using previously read magazines, which utilizing a fair trade ideology that help create job opportunities and alleviate poverty. The are beautiful, distinctive, and extremely well made.

Although they are expensive, I saw them literally fly off the shelves at a holiday shopping event I was attending.

It also says a great deal about her passion for the environment and doing 'what's right.' She walks the talk. (via Cosmic Bobbins)
