Tucson, AZ had an artist's open studio tour this past weekend and I fell upon a terrific new green product.  The folks at [Vy & Elle](http://www.vyandelle.com/) are recycling the PVC from billboards into  wallets, handbags, messenger bags, backpacks, totes, etc.  It seems that the colors need to be pretty vibrant to hold up and be seen from a distance so these bags are bright!  Even the black has a great sheen. Since they're PVC, I'm guessing they'll hold up to a lot of abuse.  Based upon our informal survey, they appealed to  both the men and women.  The favorite in our group was definitely, the [Il Postino messenger bag](http://www.vyandelle.com/images/products/sm_ilpostino.jpg) with the seat belt clasp.
