Five Accessories Bags
Five Accessories is an online store dedicated to bringing you the latest and greatest in handmade, grassroots, sustainable handbags. Their products include accessories made out of bamboo, recycled materials, coconut shells and more — the materials reflect the geographical location they were made in and the designer’s vision.
They have four major lines: Bali bags, Guatemala bags, USA designers, and Honduras environment bags. I’m going to share with you a few favorites.
Bali Bag
This line has tons of different materials and designs, but I love the geometric shapes of this coconut bag. $5.00 of each sale will support schoolchildren and education in Bali.
Each clutch has a satin lining. You have your choice of three sizes — 8″ x 6″ for $40.00; 10″ x 6″ for $45.00; and 12″ x 6″ for $50.00.
All the sizes can be ordered by clicking here.

USA Designers
Designer Kristina Witherspoon has a few products that are exclusive to Five Accessories, including her line of geometric black-and-white bags. This clutch is made out of circle print cotton. I’ll be honest — the eco-ness of this bag isn’t clear on the website, but it is always good to support up-and-coming designers.
This clutch is $45.00 and can be ordered here.
Guatemala Bag
The bags in the Guatemala line have a very different feel — they are soft and romantic and elegant. I love this bag because while it isn’t “me” at all, it would integrate seamlessly into my wardrobe and give me that extra floral pop without being overwhelming.
$5.00 from the sale of this bag goes to support www.safepassage.com. It’s $65.00 and is available here. There are other color options available, but you need to contact the company directly to find out more.
Five Accessories sells way more than just bags. They have bracelets, earrings, jewelry and much more! Head over there to check it all out.

I love the Bali Cluth called Night. It looks so sleek that I can’t believe it is made out of bamboo sticks.

I agree, the night Bali clutch is adorable. I love the Guatemala bag with the hand embroidered detail. It is very vibrant and eye-catching.
