Baggage Handbags

Thanks to our friends up north, we have lovely imports like NHL playa Sean Avery.

Another name to add to the roster: Baggage Handbags.

Kacky & Carl has the Texas exclusive on the Toronto-based brand, which is as environmentally conscious as it is cool. The handbags are made with 100 percent recycled cotton lining as well as leather that’s sourced from vintage jackets, chairs, and even couch cushions.

You’ll want a five-finger discount on the Klepto clutch, which is by far the label’s hippest look. The style comes in camel or black and has a hand-woven midsection with a slight western vibe.

It’s the perfect accessory for your casual hockey game getup. And with the season kicking off in a little more than a week, there’s still plenty of time to score one.

Talk about getting your Canucks in a row.

Available at Kacky & Carl, 2722 Routh Street, Uptown (214-295-4486 or kackyandcarl.com). To see styles, go to baggagehandbags.com.
