This cool bag I ordered arrived in the mail this week. It's really modern and colorful, and it's made from recycled products. I think I am going to order another to give to a friend for her birthday. I got it from Ecoist Bags, and I heard about it on one of Dakota's favorite blogs Treehugger. Ecoist bags are made from recycled chip bags, candy wrappers and soft drink labels. The one I purchased seems to be very well-made, and, as I mentioned, it looks really cool. Of course, because they are hand made, they aren't the cheapest. A large clutch is $95. But, I think that it's important to support green businesses, and Ecoist Bags are certainly way cheaper than the designer handbags many people in LA carry. Plus, each one is unique. Ecoist's smaller bags are more affordable, in the $30-40 range. I think my friend will really dig one.
I gave the bag to my friend and she LOVED it.
I love the one I got!
