What: Angela gets eco-friendly by accessorizing with the Five “Night” Bamboo Handbag.
The Lowdown: First things first—“Five” Accessories is an online store specializing in eco-friendly, socially conscious handbags and accessories, with $5 from each handbag purchase and 15 percent of all other sales to each individual artisan’s local cause. At TBF, we’re suckers for anything that mixes fashion with charitable giving, so we were on board from the start. But no matter how much we love giving, we also want to be sure to get the best value for our dollar.
Fortunately, at least in the case of this particular handbag, value is what we got. The bag itself—Balinese-made—is an evening-appropriate clutch style constructed of thin bamboo slats, and features fabric-lining with an inside pocket, a metal clasp and wooden handles. Which may not sound terribly chic or practical, but trust us, it is. The slats are thin enough that the bag folds and bends, the handles are smooth and solid, and the magnetic metal clasp holds tight. It’s lightweight and roomy enough to toss in your lip gloss, compact, phone, credit cards, and then some. And it looks fab. What more could an eco-conscious girl want?
The Verdict: It’s a Yea on all levels, and even better, it’s on sale now $30 for medium (12” wide by 6” tall) and $35 for large (14” wide by 6” tall), online only at Fiveaccessories.com.
