Diamond necklaces are SO last season - but Coke cans hung from the neck could be the latest thing.

At least that is the hope for new Brighton shop The Green Gallery.

The store, opening soon in Edward Street, is dedicated to promoting recycling - with an artistic twist.

It will sell a wide range of items, including recycled plastic handbags, reclaimed wood furniture, jewellery and artwork.

Owner Lizzie Lee graduated from the University of Brighton with an award for innovation after creating a fabric out of plastic bottle tops and fruit netting.

She said: "I really like the idea of working with different materials."
