Ecoist Totes, Handbag of the Day
Even though we have seen a lot of handbags here at Luxist, we've never seen one quite like this. From Ecoist, these totes use an environmentally-friendly, recycled material that is durable, waterproof and available in striped, metallic and multi-colored varieties. The mystery material? Candy bar wrappers. Each bag is carefully woven by hand, and as the wrappers vary, each piece will be completely unique. The store stocks a huge variety of other wrapper bags, as well, but the multi-colored tote would be perfect for a trip down to the shore, so it's our favorite of the bunch. Price: $238.

These are fantastic - but they sell on the streets in Mexico for about $20 - I saw them in a stall in Playa del Carmen.
I'm kicking myself that i didn't buy them when i had the chance - i can't believe the price they're charging here!
