Actually, I found about 13 fab reusable Etsy bags the other day, but that would make for a pretty long post, so we’ll start with seven.

Etsy is sometimes the only place you need to find great green goodies. Beautiful, eco-friendly bags, clutches, and coin purses are especially prevalent at Etsy. They have so many to choose from, you’ll have a rough go of it; picking only one. In this post, I’ve got six great options for you, starting with the bag you see above, the Eco-friendly Hemp Messenger Bag with Flying Birds with Pine Tree from Uzura. This bag is lined in 55% hemp / 45% organic cotton, has two inside pockets, and is absolutely adorable.

Uzura is way too cool a shop to only share one bag. I loved every single bag there. The hemp one above is one of my faves, as are these two above, the Eco-friendly Hemp Linen Handbag with Queen Anne’s Lace and the Eco-friendly Hemp Bag with Water Lily. All of Uzura’s bags are printed with unique original designs. I just love them.

For small change, there’s the lovely and perky pink Fuschia Birch Clutch Purse. Made with an antique brass finish, 55% hemp / 45% organic cotton, and printed with environmentally friendly, solvent free inks by the very cool Portemone. Many other great fabric choices available for this tiny purse.

If you’re looking for something a little different and still ultra cute, I’d check out Retrofied. This shop has, among other bag gems, the gorgeous Reversible Hobo Bag – Large – Retro Bird Print and SKAL Organic Cotton. This is 2 bags in one! One side sports  a retro bird print from Moda and the other side is SKAL certified organic cotton that has been tea stained.

The Vibrant Pattern Tote from Upstyle offers a wicked punch of color and lots o’ carrying space and layered fabric protection for small equipment (ipod, cellphone, BlackBerry). Upstyle’s shop uses organic, new remnant or surplus, unused materials when possible.

Last, but not least, the small, but overly sweet, Recycled Sweater Argyle Wallet, Pouch, Coin Purse. How cute and soft looking right?! Thinking Mama uses recycled,felted, soft and fuzzy sweater bits to for this and it’s big enough to hold money, credit cards, business cards, cell phones, mp3 players or little knitting/craft accessories.

Coming up this weekend, six more fab bags from Etsy. Stay tuned. For now though, which bag above is your favorite?
