Animal print handbags gone wild

Once I entered through the doors of TJ Maxx this morning, I was immediately bombarded by the latest handbag fashion: animal prints.

But it was animal prints to the extreme, and since this trend never leaves the scene for too long, a leopard-printed or python-inspired handbag may be the perfect holiday gift.

Some were made from faux leather materials such as polyvinyl chloride, which can be recycled into new uses. And some were made from leather, but faux leather wannabes can be easily found. Also, check inside tags to see if the choice material is recyclable.
