Candy Wrapper Bag

This bag was made from candy wrappers that would have ended up in the landfill, which makes it not only super cute, but eco-friendly as well. It reminds us of the Capri Sun bag, but in a cute, pocket-sized coin purse version. It looks like there are many kinds of candy wrappers to satisfy everyone's preferences, and there are fun colors to boot!

This may possibly be the only saddle bag any woman wants. It's great for showing off a western flair and the perfect bag for true cowgirls. It also looks durable, which is definitely a plus. We just want to know how much it stores and how you carry it. Maybe you can just hold it by the horn. And don't we all wish it came with a free pony attached?

I must admit, I'm an old fashioned girl who believes a dog should either stay at home while you run your errands, or trot happily beside you on a leash. But if you insist on toting your pampered pooch in a handbag, the least you can do is opt for an eco-friendly dog carrier.

House of Dog is one brand offering a leather-free alternative. This cute Signature Paw purse, like all the other House of Dog accessories, is made from 100% cruelty free faux leather. It doesn't do a bad ostrich impersonation, and those Czech crystals definitely up the style factor. Celebrity dog lovers agree, with Tori Spelling, Cindy Crawford, and Denise Richards all spotted carrying this doggie bag. You can get it in seven colors for $320.

The eco-friendly House of Dog range also includes other puppy essentials like collars, leashes, toys, bowls, and even wedding gear for those wanting to take their pooch with them down the aisle!

Burberry Handbags on eBay

Whiting and Davis are taking a break from its traditional tiny timeless accessories to create something much more contemporary. But don't think this Python Print Handbag sees the fashion house abandoning its heritage altogether!

Whiting & Davis' trademark mesh is still a force, but the bold colors and python print pattern give the metal a more modern edge. The gleaming mesh is offset by glamorous black patent leather trim.

A polished patent belt encircles the bag, securing it shut with a turnlock closure. This feature hearkens back to the brand's vintage heritage, but when combined with the zippered top it makes the purse a little fiddly to get into. At least the safety of your essentials won't be an issue with these double security features!

The metal shell is lined with signature printed polyester to cushion your precious cargo. The mid-sized space is kitted out with a zippered pocket and two bellowed pouches to help keep the purse free of clutter.

This python bag represents a break from tradition for Whiting & Davis, and one I'm not sure whether its loyal fans will embrace. Although I'm confident the brand will win some new admirers with this walk on the wild side!

We all know what kind of germs and nasties lurk on floors, but let's face it. Most handbag hangers look a little cheap and nasty. Now Pavina has solved the problem with its stylish range of purse hooks.

Take this gorgeous Olivine for example. This gem encrusted beauty does our designer handbags justice with its silver-toned finish, glittering Swarovski crystals, and faceted semi-precious stones. Just like the other Pavina bag hooks the Olivine is made to support up to 25 pounds, so it should hold most oversized and overstuffed bags. It's padded to protect restaurant tablecloths and hardwood bars, and refreshingly lead-free. It's also one of the brand's cheapest models, clocking in at just $45.

Pavina's artistic handbag holders have been embraced by some of Hollywood's most stylish stars, including Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, and L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers' handbag diva Gwen Stefani.

Pavina Handbag Holders are available online at Marlobrands.

While you need to worry about fakes, beat-up old purses and unreliable sellers on eBay, DashOfEnvy.com takes away the guesswork by offering new and authentic accessories.

Rebecca Minkoff shows she knows how to do more than boxy bags with the new Darling.

This unexpected purse is more hobo than shoulder bag with its crescent shape and soft, slouchy silhouette. For a designer who favors structure, this bohemian look is a real surprise. But she embraces it, with tasseled zipper pulls on the vertical side pockets continuing the free-spirited feel. I'm less convinced by the zippered belt which encircles the purse. It's more rock and roll than love child, so it looks a little out of place. In my opinion, the Darling would have looked much better without it.

The side pouches are ideal places to stash your cell phone and keys, away from the clutter than inevitably builds up in a big bag. Not that the Darling doesn't try to keep things in order. With a pouch panel pocket, a multifunctional slip, a zippered pouch and a metro card pocket there really is a place for everything. I'm just realistic enough to know that when we're on the go, clutter still creeps in!

The long rolled shoulder strap is ideal for this cooler weather. You can comfortably slip it over your shoulder even while wearing a thick winter coat.

The Darling is reasonably priced for a Rebecca Minkoff bag at $495.

Taiwan-born Linda Wong has combined her love of the planet and fashion in her handbag label, Canopy Verde. The brand offers practical, environmentally friendly, and stylish purses.

The label was a labor of love for the new mom, in more ways than one. In fact, Linda was finalizing details of her website launch while in labor with her first son Will!

Canopy Verde's extensive collection features bags of all shapes and sizes. The cute Pomelo and Calamint clutches are ideal for casual evenings out. The oversized Dewberry tote is perfect for moms with its bottle holders and easy-clean lining. The Cassia is the granddaddy of the bunch, with its expansive interior ready for weekend getaways.

The fabric bags are made from a soft blend of organic cotton and bamboo, while the more luxurious ones are crafted from chrome-free leather. All feature OEKO-TEX 100 certified dyes and chemical-free embroidery.

"In creating Canopy Verde, I wanted to be very thoughtful about any component that was put into the bag as well as the construction methods," Linda explained. "Special attention was paid to everything down to the lining and the dyeing process."

The Canopy Verde collection is available in boutiques across the United States and even Australia. The full range is also available at several green e-retailers including Organic Elementz and FairTribe.

Gucci has launched a new iPhone application, which celebrates fashion and music.

The program has a range of exciting features, including videos from Gucci fashion shows and its collections, photos of its latest and greatest style items, and news articles. For globetrotting stylistas and culture vultures there's a list of not only Gucci stores, but also fashionable restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels in 33 international locations.

The real star performer though is the unexpected Gucci Beats section. This project was developed by the label's creative director Frida Giannini and British production whiz Mark Ronson. He's designed various loops which iPhone owners can use as a base to mix their own tunes. Once you've created your masterpiece, you can share it with all your friends on your social network pages. I'm not really sure what any of that has to do with Gucci or fashion for that matter, but it sounds like a lot of fun!

The Gucci iPhone application is available for free download from the Apple Online Store.
