As you might have guessed, I love bags and I love recycling, so I was thrilled to find Bazura Bags!

The bags are made in the Phillipines by a woman's cooperative. The materials they use? Used juice containers!

Because the containers are non-biodegradable, this is a wonderful, environmentally and fashion-friendly way to reuse them! And it's so much fun to see what they drink and also the marketing used - my large Grocery Bag has a chocolate milk panel with a smiling cowboy cow on it!

There are a number of different styles to choose from - there are camera bags, aprons, change purses and a variety of totes to suit your mood or destination - and they are extremely colourful, which is a nice change from the one or two colour purse you're probably using at the moment!

I also am enamoured by their Banner Bags, which are recycled advertising banners and made in Vietnam.The push to stop using plastic bags is on.

But there's nothing that says you can't do it with extreme style and colour, reuse a material that would otherwise cause harm to the environment and employee people in both Vietnam and the Phillipines.

That, to me, is the best kind of bag around.
