The “Ugly Betty Bag”

Fitness and Yoga Communities Embrace Rebagz Fashionable Recycled Handbags - MarketWatch reports:

“Half the Sky Designs’ eco-friendly Rebagz(TM) are not only durable, flexible, lightweight, they are now being widely embraced by both the fitness and yoga communities. That is because the line’s larger handbags easily stow fitness clothing and equipment and are also easy to clean. Artfully made from recycled juice packs and nylon rice bags, Rebagz are available in a wide variety of playful colors and fun prints.

‘Health-conscious people tend to be eco-conscious as well, because they understand the relationship between a healthy body and a healthy planet,’ says Marty Stevens-Heebner, Half the Sky Designs’ founder and head designer. ‘We’re thrilled that Rebagz are turning up in gyms and yoga classes everywhere.’ And more people are flocking to get in shape than ever. ‘In the year 2005, the projected number of frequent health club attendees climbed to 17.5 million members,’ reports the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association.”

Jimmy Choo Cecile Crystal Clutch, Handbag of the Day - Luxist reports: “Take a simple satin bag and cover it with humongous black crystals and this is what you get. The stones themselves are stunning, but seem a bit heavy for the petite bag. But the black chain handle is perfect and the matching logo plaque is just discreet enough. The bag closes with a press stud and features two inner pockets. $1995.”

In brief: this is a black satin clutch with jet crystal embellishment. The Jimmy Choo CECILE CRYSTAL CLUTCH has a detachable black chain handle, signature on front with press stud fastening underneath and two inner pockets.

Is your handbag too heavy?

“The average woman’s handbag now weighs the same as FIVE bags of sugar” reports:

Women be warned - it’s not just your bag that is struggling with the extra burden. Chiropractors have noticed an increase in injuries related to heavy handbags and said earlier this year they were considering issuing a warning.

Therapist Tim Hutchful explained: “The problem with carrying a heavy bag is that while it may not cause you an injury at the time, it has a cumulative effect.

“We’re seeing more instances of back pain triggered as a result.”
