Eco Chic - designing and creating again on earth day


Thinking ECO GREEN and brainstorming with my dad a retired VP of a wholesale food distributor, the artist and fashion designer in me has re-emerged once again. With the growing movement crossing the U.S. and world to outlaw plastic shopping or grocery store bags we have come out with a line of one-of-a-kind hand-crafted eco chic bags and totes. They are a reusable alternative to plastic bags that can hold 10lbs, 20lbs, 30lbs and more depending on the size of the bag or tote.
.
Each are handmade from eco friendly fabrics or recycled items that don't pose environmental problems. The eco chic bag's are created in denim or heavy cottons from recycled garments we purchased. No added environmental toxic dyes are used to stamp a logo like others that claim to be natural or eco safe that really aren't and are mass produced in a factory and outsourced in sweat-shops.
.
Our bags are NOT OUTSOURCED by "the fair trade organization" to India, South America, Mexico or any other country. We are proud to say "Made in the USA - by Americans!" Our bags are slightly higher to buy than the mass produced outsourced bags that you might find in the grocery store, because our sewers are paid above the minimum wages for their handcrafted talents. We DO NOT PROMOTE SWEAT SHOP LABOR in some third world country and pay them a dollar a day like another eco companies in the US. We are proud to keep our US dollars here and pay Americans in America!
.
Each bag or tote is UNIQUE, one-of-a-kind HANDMADE and no two bags are the same. You will never see two bags a like. If you see a bag or tote here today it might not be available when you come back tomorrow. That means no one will have an eco chic bag as cool, eco safe or unique as you do.

On the right side in the -BLOG ARCHIVE- are listings of the type of eco chic jean bags and totes available. Click on the photographs they pop out super size so you can see the details up close.

Our eco chic bags and totes are multi purpose bags. The the possibilities to use them are unlimited, they can be used not only for grocery shopping, but for gym bags, workout, yoga, beach bags, book-bags, craft bags for art supplies, tool bags for guys, work bags, kids bags for school or for dance class/gym class, duffel bag, laundry bags, to carry sports equipment, travel bags -- whatever you chose to use them for they will fit your purpose.
