CONSERVE, a non-profit organization, uses a blend of creativity, design and innovation to turn what was once a dull environmental hazard into a clean, funky and fashionable material from which are crafted a range of appealing handbags and fashion accessories. In their efforts to help save the environment they also provide a fair-trade approved income to the urban poor of India. Size (in inches): 8 x 4 x 0.5
