Worn Again Debuts Recycled "Virgin" Bags

It's been a while since we've featured a travel product on G.G. and if I'd searched for days, I couldn't have found a better match than Worn Again's new "Worn Again Virgin" line of bags.

Created in partnership with Virgin Atlantic Airlines, the bags are made of old Virgin Atlantic plane seat covers, among other materials like car seat belts, post-Glastonbury tents and bike inner tubes. This clever partnership will help Virgin Atlantic in achieving its goal to halve the waste it sends to landfills by 50 percent by 2012.

Best of all? These gender-neutral (and cute, I might add!) messenger and accessories bags are uber travel friendly. Right now you can pick up one of the limited edition bags (only 2,000 were made using 1,000 old seat covers) for $44 - $115.
