The Leather Scout & Catalogue Scavenger Purses are Adorable

— February 14, 2011 — Eco
Scout and Catalogue's two-toned leather purses are fantastic daytime pieces. There are no duplicates of any one two-toned leather purse from this collection, as each is made from restored fabrics that these Etsy sellers salvaged from thrift shops. Their aim is to reuse material and not add to landfill waste.

The Scout and Catalogue two-toned leather purses are perfect for those ladies who like a laid-back scavenger pouch with a feminine accent like lace, purple coloring, or leopard print.

Implications - By using found materials and recycled products, the company shows a commitment to the environment and consumers.
