The Bag to Have: Urban Renewal Taffeta Bow Bag

January 5, 2009

Not only is this Urban Renewal Taffeta Bow Bag ($38) adorable, it's made out of old prom dresses. So cool how Urban Outfitters used recycled taffeta scraps to make it. Way to reuse and recycle! It's perfect for a casual day of shopping, lunching, or running errands. At night, tuck the straps into the bag and you have yourself a clutch.

I love long strap bags but it's a little too small for me. lol I'd carry it but it wouldn't be an everyday bag for me.

I think $38 is too expensive for that bag... Maybe I should just try to make one myself with some satin fabric.

I actually really love this, but am I the only one who thinks $38 for a bag that you're going to use occasionally is too much?! I'm no cheapo; I pay up too $100 for a good leather, often brand name bag that I'm going to use for months; but I am pragmatic - I'll just wait until this goes on sale...

...oi. Looked up the sweater, apparently it's the "Coincidence & Chance Sequin Plumage Cardigan" in gray. Alas, it's $98.00. Budget friendly it ain't!

I'm loving that sweater too, tellmemore! The bag's not bad, I would 86 the strap, though. Without that it would make for a cute clutch, I figure. Bonus is the price is right, and that it's recycled material!
