Some designers like Leanne are inspired by the enviroment. For Leanne Marshalls collection on Project Runway Season five she stated that she was inspired by the waves and by the ocean. Another Porject Runway Season five contestant Korto was inspired by the garden she has where she lives and by the colors of the enviroment around her. There is a new way of making purses or what some teenagers like to call school bags. Some people use old T-shirts that they don't wear anymore and rip the sleeves off and sew open areas together and make and hand bag out of that. Instead of buying hand bags that other people might have, you can just use what is in your closet and make a bag that nobody is going to have, and you will have a unique bag.
