What is your handbag made of......

At five ACCESSORIES, our core goal is to use recycled materials for our bags.  Here is a list of the reused materials:

Recycled Netting 

Netting material intended for use in the fishing and construction industries that has holes and rips in it is sold off at local markets. We recycle it for use in our bags.

Repurposed Motorcycle Seats

Over 80% of the population uses motorcycles. We repurpose the seats to make our purses.

Reused Black Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are cut, heated and crocheted into sharp looking accessories.

Did you get an iPad this holiday season? Do you know anyone whom received one as a gift? There are not many carrying case options. You might have gotten the metal or plastic case to protect it... but then what? Do you put it in your large gym bag? Do you put it in your work bag to get lost between your folders and other papers? What if you just want to carry it to the local Starbucks to work on it? What do you use?

We have the solution..... our #1 selling bag this holiday season was our recycled net shoulder bag designed to fit the iPad. It has five pockets so enough room to fit your small wallet, phone, cords etc. But slender enough to hang cross body and fit under your large winter coat. Check out our video demo of the iPad carrying bag from fiveACCESSORIES

Earth Day Handbag using Eco Material

Wicker is a natural material made out of different wood. The most commonly used wood is rattan, cane and bamboo. Rattan is more of a solid vine, unlike bamboo which is hollow and cane is actually the stem of the larger rattan trees. Because these trees are not not in scarce demand, it makes them a good eco-friendly resource.

Being socially conscious, five ACCESSORIES uses a wicker source from the country of Bali. Local Balinese artisans handcraft a number of wicker handbags for us, enabling us to provide an excellent eco-friendly product. Featured below are our four wicker handbags:
