Pet Project

Are you distressed by the fact that your pet's extra hair goes to waste? I'll admit it's unlikely, even for the greenest among us. And yet, innovator Catty Shack Creations has solved this vexing problem that we didn't even know we had! Your cat's or dog's hair, collected by groomers with kits available from the web site, can be washed, carded, spun by hand, knitted, felted and otherwise recycled into beautiful and truly unique handbags like the ones pictured here. Many different sizes and styles of bag are available, ranging from about $50 to $300. Not quite the cat's pajamas, but very, very close.
