Graphic designer David Shin’s Eco Tabby is an adorable creation of plastic bags formed into the shape of a little kitty cat. This little Eco Tabby can go almost anywhere unlike an actual cat, as it can hang off of a door knob and peak out of a bureau.
As David Shin didn’t know how to sew, he chose to work with plastic bags, thus creating a green eco-friendly stuffed toy. Although it’s made of plastic, I can’t help but want take this Eco Tabby and stick it in my purse like Paris Hilton would do with her Chihuahua.
