With the plethora of abandoned automobiles on the planet, it is good to know that there just might be creative reuse for the valuable materials that remain once vehicles make their way to the scrap pile or local junkyard. Begoodesigns aims to do environmental good by recycling old leather car seats, armchairs, and ‘decoration articles’ into artisan-crafted totes, laptop bags, and sandals. Based in Montevideo, Uruguay, this super-hot forward-thinking company is creating high-quality, handmade products in order to prevent toxic fume pollution (created by burning leather) from escaping into the atmosphere. We salute their efforts and totally love their stylish ‘salvaged’ products and recycling agenda.

This is a great idea. I love bags and products like this. There’s a new trend happening too, creating online stores that feature this kind of product, such as http://ecofriend.us and http://evo.com. They simply aggregate great products like this and show them off to potential buyers. I hope the idea of not just the ecological impact, but also the economic impact becomes an important factor too. There are ways of saving money and being green at the same time.
