19 Eco-Friendly Bags (CLUSTER)


[Edit]
|
I’m a big fan of recycled or repurposed eco-friendly bags. In a world where we’ve seemingly dreamed up every new possible invention ever, remixing old or excess items into a fashionable and functional bag is a creative spin on our ideas of innovation. These eco-friendly bags are no exception. Car parts, billboards and even emergency blankets are given another life in this collection of bags, totes and purses. Some are designed to make a statement, like the I’m Not a Plastic Bag tote. Others are equally eco-friendly but far more subtle in their environmental expression. Which is your favorite eco-friendly bag? Via: trendhunter |
