Combining Eco-Friendly with Eco-Chic

Eco-Handbags.ca prides itself on coming up with that combination, by saving reusable products from the landfill, and transforming them into renewable consumer products. The list of products their designers work with includes items such as: candy wrappers, 35mm slides, truck tire & bicycle tire inner tubes, sailboat sails, newspaper, juice boxed, zippers, and more. Based in Montreal, Eco-Handbags.ca makes every kind of bag you can imagine. They list their products as including "handbags, totes, purses, cosmetic bags, gym bags, yoga mat bags, men's shaving kit bag, wine bags and any other type of bag you would ever need to carry your things in."
One of the extra-cool things about this company is that they are a member of 1% For the Planet, an alliance currently of 1,112 small businesses that pay a voluntary earth tax and donate 1% of their sales to a network of 1,724 non-profit, non-governmental environmental organizations, worldwide.
If you're interested in making your own eco-fashion statement or making a gift that will help someone else get into the eco-mood, make a visit to Eco-Handbags.ca. They'd like to meet you, whether as a consumer, or as an eco-designer who might want to sell your own handbag creations on the site. What's to lose, when you're "helping the environment, one handbag at a time"?
