Erin Templeton

If there is rehab for purses, I belong there.  While I try to keep my consumption to a minimum (let’s keep it green, people!) it is nice to know that my splurges can also be eco-conscious purchases.  Erin Templeton makes some of the most orGLAMic purses I’ve found.  The Side Saddle, pictured above, is my [...]

Graf & Lantz

Any good orGLAMic reader knows that we have a thing for totes.  A major thing.  And while we don’t regularly approach total strangers in an attempt to track down whose bag came from where, that is exactly what we did when laying our eyes upon this bag from West Hollywood design duo Graf & Lantz. [...]

Della

The brainchild of Los Angeles-based jewelry-designer-turned-philanthropist Tina Tangalakis, Della has already made a huge splash in the short time since it’s inception in 2009.  Employing and empowering the women of Hohoe, Ghana, Della offers one-of-a-kind, handmade, vegan bags and accessories made of sustainable materials.  My personal pick is the Summertime in Yellow Classic Della Bag which [...]

Artecnica

I love the look of these multi-purpose, orGLAMic cork cases by Artecnica.  The fact that they can be used and reused for so many purposes makes these products even more orGLAMic than the fact that they are crafted from 100% recycled billboards and sustainable cork.  Inspired by the simple design of a traditional envelope, I [...]

Cha Cha

A black, orGLAMic, oversized purse?!  I’m sold!  There is nothing more on my radar right now than this tote by Cha Cha.  Preciously named ‘Sweet Affair’, this tote is made of handwoven salvaged and recycled leather and lined with organic canvas.  I love the balance of simplicity and detail of this accessory, as well as [...]

Matt & Nat

Matt & Nat accessories are always on my radar here at orGLAMic.  This time around, I am a little obsessed with the Goldfrapp handbag pictured above.  Not only is the bag named after a great group (their song “A&E” has been in my rotation for a couple of years now) but it is made of [...]

Ashley Watson

I am a sucker for leather purses.  Gasp – it’s true!  This is one of the places in my life I find it hard to be orGLAMic, but luckily Vancouver-based designer Ashley Watson makes it easier with her beautiful bags made of recycled leather.  The collection offers so many differently shaped and sized bags, but [...]

Neutra

Any orGLAMic fashionista in your life is sure to appreciate bags by Neutra.  All of Neutra’s products are made of discarded inner car tubes. Because tires are made out of nonrecyclable materials, this is the perfect way to keep trash out of the landfills and look stylish while doing it.  My personal fave is the [...]

Sea Bags

As fall finally approaches Los Angeles, I am heading straight to the beach this weekend to capture my last days in the sand.  What would make my excursion truly orGLAMic is a bag from Sea Bags.  Each bag is handmade from recycled sails (yes, like the kind from sailboats) so styles, shape and size vary [...]

Elezar

Retail therapy does a soul good (as I displayed emphatically this weekend!) and now the ONLY thing missing from my fall wardrobe is this tote from Elezar’s Vivi collection.  The entire Vivi collection is vegan and biodegradable, and is still made in Italy with the fine craftsmanship that Elezar is known for.  I personally like [...]
