The team at Junior Massive came up with a really bright idea that utilizes old vinyl records to create a truly unique series of t-shirts. As you can see, the eye in each record is positioned to match with the eye of the silhouette.
With the dress code of almost every company going business casual, the one raw material that there should be plenty of is old suits and ties. Seizing on a source of cheap material, the makers of these wallets will offer you a small assortment to choose from: blue necktie, red necktie or pinstripe suit. Maybe your excellent wallet fashion sense will prompt some bigwig to move you up to a position that actually requires you to wear a suit. (and pays you accordingly).

For a bag made of recycled pop caps this thing is not half bad looking. You have to have respect for someone who can make a bag from what is possibly the cheapest possible material and still charge almost two bills for it. I guess it is all about the labor. But it better be someone sitting in their basement doing this for hours at a time and not some sweatshop over in Asia or they should be charging under $20.

Products made from recycled goods often look tacky or junky—but this street sign briefcase by artist Tripp Gregson is certainly an exception. The exterior features imagery from lawfully salvaged traffic signs while the interior comes complete with organizer / file pockets and a laptop compartment. If only I could get my hands on one made from a “Speed Hump” sign.

I like the idea of showing pride in whatever state of the union you choose. This two license plate handbag with a strap made from recycled rubber can do that and keep you green at the same time. If environmentalism is not your cup of tea, then how about the hundreds of Swarovski crystals that adorn it? And that registration sticker adds the realism that any discerning shopper would demand.

This stylish laptop protector is made from PVC vinyl taken from reclaimed billboards once seen on America’s highways. The example above looks great, but I would worry that the version I purchased would say something like “Mustang Ranch: The Biggest Titties in Town! Next Exit.”
