Plastic Purses

The Plastic Bag Makes a Comeback for Spring 2009

The plastic bag is making a comeback for Spring 2009 with these funky plastic purses. Made in a variety of styles and colors, these handbags are great for the current fashion season. The bigger totes are even large enough for groceries so you can stay eco-friendly and stylish at the same time. 

Check out the gallery above for some unconventional styles. My favorite is the clear plastic purse with ice cream cones painted on the front. You can never go wrong with a handbag imprinted with your favorite dessert!
