These days, with laptops, Blackberries, iPhones, etc., it seems like everybody's looking for the perfect piece of luggage to tote around their gadgets and junk. Now, you could throw down a few hundred bucks for a celebrity-endorsed luxury hand bag. Or, if you happen to have a soft spot for the environment, you could be a responsible human being and get a sustainable purse, murse, courier bag or hold-all from Terrapax.

Terrapax has a seriously green business model that includes the uses of all organic, renewable fabrics like hemp and linen, and they turn out some seriously durable luggage. The even buy back their old bags and recycle the hardware and hemp. The company was started by James Cox, who left North Face in '92 to design bags that don't contain petrochemical-based fibers like nylon and polyester.

Just in case you were wondering, those are genuine stag horn closures on this organic hemp shoulder bag. No animals were not harmed in the making of it though -- they shed their antlers each spring.
