Flocked and Bothered

-

Guilty as charged: I confess to being a hoarder. I used to save anything and everything until my living spaces got smaller and smaller and I had to downsize. I successfully converted my home into organized minimalism, but now all that extra “stuff” seems to have spilled over into my purse. My large sacks are always filled to the max, making for quite an unpleasant (and heavy) experience. So, I’m on the hunt for several small purses to tame the hoarder in me once again.

I recently spotted this flocked vegan clutch on Alternative Outfitters and couldn’t resist. Anything in gold and turquoise tops the list in my book. Made of faux leather, the purse is cruelty-free and the special flocking process gives each piece an individual edge. At only $35, it’s a great price and a hot ticket – these bags are so “in” right now. Now, I know buying in bulk is inherently “ungreen,” but I can’t help scooping up a few and giving each a lot of mileage.
