Creative Designs

I recently wrote about Recycled Purses and noticed a great interest in it. It got me to delve a bit further into unique purse designs and without having to go too far, I ran into some information about the Star 50 Handbags by designer Amity Cooper. While not exactly recycled, they are novel. Everyone loves a conversation piece, and these are sure to get some conversations started. Her inspiration for the handbags came about after 9/11 with an effort to create a personal handbag from various states. These are handbags women can feel proud to wear. From the funky snake skin to the clean and sleek weave, the designs are refreshingly unique. Many come in a variety of colors and prices seem to have a pretty wide range, starting at under $30 to over $100.
