YSL makes handbag from recycled plastic bags

As some cities try to ban plastic bags altogether, some companies are finding innovative ways to keep them out of the ocean.

Yves Saint Laurent created a classic black handbag called the Muse Two Artisanal Recycled with recycled plastic bags and leather. The limited edition handbag was crafted by female artisans in Burkina Faso. 

Though leather is still used, there's a sustainable component with repurposing the plastic bags. The handbag costs $1,720.
