Teresa Cowley Designs is one of my favorite lurks for perusing pretty eco-couture bags. Teresa is an Australian fashion designer who has created an entire line of sustainable handbags and accessories to echo her personal passion for the environment. The fabric used is a premium hemp/cotton blend and the lovely wooden handles are made from wood harvested from sustainable forest plantations. Each design is original, some featuring vintage pins or organic blooms---and would certainly be the perfect statement piece to add to your wardrobe. Teresa's Spring Summer 2009/10 Collection was featured at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and I am so proud that her sustainable collection is doing so well. Please visit Teresa Cowley Designs on Etsy to see her efforts in bringing "green" to the fashion world.
