Noon Solar Sawyer Bag
(Mark Wiens)

Made of naturally dyed hemp and leather, every inch of Noon Solar's Sawyer messenger bag—more inconspicuous than it looks—is biodegradable. The flexible solar panel charges the Sawyer's lithium-ion battery in about six hours and will keep your phone or iPod juiced for at least that long. $377; noonsolar.com
