Here we highlight some of the best recycled accessories for all the family. Rome was not built in a day and so we must slowly grow our green wardrobe of accessories.
Reclaimed Belts
The Elvis & Kresse Organisation(EAKO) have come up with this fabulous recycled idea. Making belts for kids and adults from RECLAIMED FIRE HOSE. The buckles are made from recycled pewter. 50% of all profits will go back to the fire services national benevolent fund, even more of a reason to buy these stylish belts. Various sizes are available. Prices start from £24 for kids, £38.95 for women and £49.75 for men. Available from Babaloo.

Flat Moontide Purse
Made from recycled wrappers in silver. This purse is handmade with a detachable leather wristlet for ease of carrying and has a zip fastening. Perfect for those nights out on the razzle. Available from Adili for £40.

Soda Cap Belts
Again available in adult or kids sizes, these wacky belts are made from 100% recycled rubber and soda bottle tops. This would make a great pressie. Available from Bodyrock for £30 for the adults size and £17 for the kids size.
