At the crossroads of law books and recycling, you’ll find the genesis of bookBags.

Founded by law librarian Kathy Kelly, bookBags are handcrafted by upcycling beautiful leather book covers — giving outdated reference books a second life.  In the process, 7000 pounds of paper have been recycled so far this year.

I was hooked on these eco savvy handbags and clutches at first glance…though perhaps most appealing to either bookish or legal types with a penchant for bags…these unique eco fashion statements have very broad appeal.  checkout Kathy’s eco boutique @ bookbags.us.com
