If your motivation when it comes to exercise is anything like mine, then you will probably have a yoga mat or two lying about the house not doing a whole lot except gathering dust. So Merle O'Brien's idea to convert these into a much more worthy item - a clutch - makes perfect sense to me.
Hailing from Chicago, O'Brien brings yoga mats back to life in the form of these zipper purses - they retail for between $15 and $120 and you can find them at olovesm.com
