Psyched in Stilettos

It was only a matter of time. Let's face it, the Kim Kardashians of the world were never going to be seen leaving the supermarket with a $1 'green' bag, like everyone else in society uses. So to race to the glitterati's rescue -- 'dash it! How am I supposed to carry groceries in a recycled bag and still look couture?!' -- Louis Vuitton has provided the ultimate answer. It's a green bag that costs $1,720 instead of $1, making it automatically more desirable.

These Noon Solar bags tick so many boxes - they're sexy-looking, are made from biodegradable materials, and feature paper-thin solar panels that are flexible and completely water- and weather-proof. Best of all, inside the bags are nifty battery packs that can supply solar power for your mobile phone or iPod. The founders personally hand dye the organic materials with natural substances such as pomegranate and weld; and the leather is heavy metal free, and naturally tanned and dyed with sustainably harvested materials such as rhubarb and walnuts.

The name of this website alone is enough to put a smile on my lips, but How Big Is Your Eco has seemingly achieved something I've never seen done before: organic, environmentally friendly stuff that looks like it's come straight out of the pages of Vogue. We're talking luxe, we're talking designer, we're talking catwalk-ready... this is the ultimate one-stop-shop for fashionista environistas.

Our favourite Aussie beauty success story, Bloom Cosmetics, has certainly earned this week's title of "Green Goddess" for releasing an organics range that isn't just good for you and divine to use, but is artfully packaged in vegetable-ink printed packaging. "It's about going back to where the brand began. It seems natural," says founder Natalie Bloom, who began her company 17 years ago with a selection of essential oils. "My husband is really into organics. He does all the food shopping so almost everything is organic," she says. "This fits with my values of sincerity and honesty."
