Candy — it’s so pretty and shiny, sometimes it just calls out to you. (“Eat me! Eat me!”)

But just as you’re about to pop the precious confection, another voice — an ugly inner voice — intervenes. (“A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!”)

Tell your conscience to pipe down. Now candy creates purses, not pounds. The creative and ecofriendly forces behind Ecoist craft nifty clutches and change pouches from recycled food packages, soda labels, and candy wrappers. The bags are inspired by and created in Mexico.

Each handmade clutch is one-of-a-kind. They come in small, medium, and large, and the array of colors will satisfy any sweet tooth. And, as if saving the world from landfills full of candy wrappers wasn’t enough, Ecoist plants a tree for every bag sold.

You can almost hear the environment’s cheers of approval. (“Thank you! Thank you!”)
