Carrying a license plate purse says a lot about you.
If the designer handbags of today are starting to all look the same to you, and you are concerned about recycling, then I suggest you look into license plate purses.
They are a great option for those who want a designer purse with an individual flair.
Combining eco-friendly options with designer quality is at the root of this accessory. There is a company that specializes in the license plate purse
Just at the name suggests, the company embraces green options and helping the earth in a little way, with a little product. However, don’t think of this as little at all. These handbags make a big statement; they are beautiful little works of art!

More than 40,000 license plates are recycled by Littlearth to make these unique purses. Since they are made from license plates, there is a custom, personalized aspect to owning one of these handbags. This really takes the reasons to own a designer handbag to a new level.

Even the material the handle is made out of is eco-friendly. The company uses 30 tons of rubber, which is recycled, to create the handles for their license plate purses. Here’s where I really get all jazzed up, because not only is this accessory double-green, it makes great sense from a design point! Get it? Rubber tires turned into a handle for a license plate purse. How great is that?!
Additionally, this handbag has a closure that is made from recycled bottle caps. These purses come in many different styles and of course, colors as well. Your license plate purse will vary depending on which state license plate is used, since the colors vary from state to state.
Littlearth produces three lines of earth friendly handbags. The first line uses the actual state-produced, recycled license plate to create the handbag. The second eco-friendly line uses alternate materials such as sustainable harvested wood, as seen with the NHL license plate purse. If bling is what really catches your eye, Littlearth has a handbag for you too. This line is called the flair line and features Swarovski crystals that are applied by hand.
So if it is a unique and beautiful eco-friendly accessory you are looking for, check out a license plate purse.
Handmade Purses – Accessory or Art?

Handmade purses combine art and function. Each one is a unique creation. A handbag that is handmade becomes a one of a kind accessory to wear proudly or display as art – or both!
When you think of it, a handmade purse is really the ultimate designer purse. It is truly a one of a kind item. These handbags are made by human hands, not a robot in a factory. This puts a real personal touch on each and every item.
There is value even in the flaws because they are personally made. Isn’t it interesting how a human caused flaw can increase the value of an item, but a machine produced flaw causes an item to lose value? Its reasons such as this that make owning handmade purses more valuable. Also, because they are handmade, they have value depending on who the designer, artist, or artisan is that produced the handbag.
Some artists and designers have gone on to become quite famous. Owning an original item from them goes up in value with the popularity of the designer.
Often designers are born out of necessity. What I mean by this, is creative people who want an item and either can’t find exactly what they want, or cannot afford to buy an item, make their own. Their creative juices flow and they make such beautiful items that other people admire.
This grows into people asking for the “designer” to make one for them. This can snowball into a full out career!
