Designer 'EssJay' Handbags Made From Recycled Advertisements

UK company EssJay bags has raised the bar when it comes to ‘eco-chic’ with a new range of handbags made from recycled outdoor advertising.

While other firms have created various accessories and even clothing out of recycled plastics, EssJay sought to strike a stronger balance between sustainability and style.

Their new collection was unveiled at the CHIC UK international fashion fair in January and will be available to buy online and through upscale stockists shortly.

If you can’t wait, they also do private commissions.
