Juicybags is the name of the Etsy shop which sells a colorful and environmentally-friendly range of bags made from foil Kool Aid juice pouches and sometimes recycled denim. Helen, the artisan, can just about produce any type of bag you care to name--totes, duffle bags, satchels, coin pouches, wallets, and even pencil cases that will fit into binders. They are fun, funky and oh-so-eco cool.
The juice pouches have been sanitized before being made into bags that are nicely trimmed. Nylon web shoulder straps are also used.
