Virgin Group founder Richard Branson is always on the lookout for ways to bolster his green credentials. In February he had a Virgin Atlantic jumbo jet fly between London and Amsterdam on fuel derived from coconuts and Brazilian babassu nuts. Now, just in time for Christmas, comes a range of accessories made from the airline’s seat covers and seat belts. After refitting its economy cabins last year, Virgin donated the used fabric to London design outfit Worn Again, which makes accessories from recycled materials. Worn Again’s Virgin items: a $40 toiletry case, a $93 handbag (right), and a $105 carryall. Virgin says target buyers are “Virgin Atlantic fanatics” who want to own a piece of the carrier.
