Bringing your own lunch to work goes couture. The Feast, a clutch purse made to look like an everyday brown bag, was created by Marie Turnor.
The soft leather strongly resembles paper and will have co-workers envying your purse and possibly your peanut butter and jelly.

The problem with disposable cups and plastic bottles… Most of them are non-biodegradable, and don’t smell enough like rich leather. Enter the Chug-A-Lug — the answer to your sustainability concerns and your need for the feel and scent of quality.
The vegetable-tanned leather cozies securely wrap around a mason jar, that you could then fill with your favorite beverage. With a lid that seals securely, and the Chug-A-Lug’s solid brass lanyard, it could instantly become your new favorite travel mug.
Creators of the Chug-A-Lug, Freyja and Gibb, have recently started a Kickstarter campaign to help obtain the materials needed to get the cozies into mass production. Head over there and find out more.

Time to get medieval on that beer with the Leather and Chainmail Beer Koozie. Brought to us by deviantart member DougFungus, the one-of-a-kind holder will protect a beer from an unexpected dragon attack, or will help fit in at a Game of Thrones premiere party.

If you need that beer to go, and your car’s cup holder is already filled with empties, The Bicycle Can Cage is here to help. Made of hand-stitched rigid leather, your newest bicycle accessory might actually encourage you to use the bike that you bought with the empty promise of actually riding it. Place a PBR in the holder and you can drink ironically while you cruise the neighborhood.

In keeping with the awesome new trend of finding alternative uses for the ubiquitous Ball Jar, the Holdster will help turn your jar into the coolest of drinking vessels. Each Holdster is handmade from genuine vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, and secured at the seam by either copper rivets or a cross-stitch.
Not only will The Holdster keep your mason jar secure and easier to handle, but it will help insulate, and will have your drinking hand smelling of rich leather all day. The Holdster is currently sold out on its site, but more extensive production is planned and looking for funding on Kickstarter.
