It's a long journey from country New South Wales to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, but it's one that Aussie girl Teresa Cowley has confidently made with her collection of eco-friendly handbags.

Teresa established the label when she noticed a lack of stylish fabric handbags in the fashion landscape. Her collection features purses of all sizes, from large shoulder bags and totes to smaller coin purses and clutches.

The exteriors are crafted from eco-friendly fabrics including organic cotton and hemp, while inside you’ll find refashioned linings. Those that do not have fabric straps feature handles made from bamboo or rosewood sourced from sustainable forest plantations. Each Teresa Cowley bag is proudly handmade and designed in Australia. The rosette accents and floral patterns she favors are right on trend.

Teresa Cowley handbags are available from a range of fashion boutiques and eco friendly stores, and online at Teresa Cowley and Etsy.
