Having a dinner party and need some edgy decor? Maybe you just need to add a little something to you kitchen? Here’s a great idea from The Spoon Sisters. The Swiss Cheese Candle ($16), made from bees wax and is so realistic, it looks like a real block of cheese! But if the candle doesn’t seem to be enough for you, there are also Olive and Wine Cork Candles to go along with your theme. Next time you have a dinner party make sure that before you announce, “Bon Apetit!”, you warn them that the candle and not part of the cheese tray!

Ok, Vegans want to look good too, but they don’t want to kill a helpless baby seal or other innocent creature to do it. Frankly neither do I if I can help it! Matt & Nat has great vegan handbags that aren’t just made of straw or hemp- they’re made of very fine synthetic leathers, and other materials that come from the earth- and they look like very high-quality genuine leather!I checked out this site, and looked at a few great handbags that I wouldn’t mind having. Whether you’re Vegan, or just want to score a hot new bag, this is a good site to visit. The animals will thank you. (Shown above: Strangelove large - $110, Strangelove small - $90)

Ecoist Environment Friendly Handbags: A whole new meaning to Vintage Fashion

June 9th, 2007 by Margeaux

ecoist-masha.jpgPurses made from Candy wrappers, old billboards, and even pull tabs from pop cans. I found this company ecoist.com that makes handbags and other accessories from recycled materials. I was amazed to see what this company is doing with recycled stuff. These purses are super-unique looking, and they’re all handmade. They don’t come as cheap as you’d think something made out of old candy wrappers would, but it’s for a good cause, and good fashion. Purses made from recycled materials gives a whole new meaning to vintage fashion.

From Ecoist: “We believe that style comes first. When designing our accessories, it is our basic assumption that no consumer will purchase our products because we are on the mission to save the Earth. Rather, people will buy what looks good on them, or what’s hot, or what celebrities are wearing. However, by promoting our brand, we hope to enhance the planet, elevate consumer consciousness, and transmit our values, not just our sense of style.”
