These handbags are made from recycled juice pouches and are both stylish and eco-friendly. The creative designer behind Trash e-Fashions Company is a 13 year old girl who discovered her empty Capri Sun pouches could serve as art.
Her recycled handbags are catching on so fast that they've even been featured on the CBS news.
Careful girls! Don't throw away those juice pouches, you might be throwing away your next purse!
Price range from $25 for small bags, to $40 for large ones. I think it's a tad pricey for the large size, but maybe trendy doesn't have a price tag.
Yesterday we featured another young fashion designer:
