Trashy Totes - eco-friendly handbags from Ghana

A women's co-op in Ghana came up with an ingenious way to re-purpose the plastic bags they use to hold their drinking water - to make another sturdy and lightweight bag!
Our Trashy Totes (available at www.World-Shoppe.com) includes this fun large tote, a medium sized tote (not online yet), a messenger bag (which is online) and a wallet! Each of the bags retails for just $24.50 so you can choose the shape and style that you like best.
What a wonderful way to be enterprising, eco-friendly, fair trade and fashionable?!
