What most people may not know however is that these super environmentally-safe bags come in a plethora of styles and are made from an endless assortment of recyclable materials. Purchasing an eco friendly bag not only makes a fashion statement, it also helps promote eco friendly causes and it creates an income for families in disadvantages nations.
The Flamboyant Coin Purse
Most women will carry their coin purse tucked away in some deep, dark corner of their larger purse or handbag. All this will change when you are introduced to a coin purse that is handmade in Thailand; you will want to toss out your old bulky purse and show off your glamorous coin purse instead! Handcrafted in Thailand by a women’s cooperative, these coin purses are made using recycled traditional Thai-Burmese clothing. Once the clothing has deteriorated too far to be wearable anymore it is cut into strips and woven into these dainty coin purses.
Long lasting and seriously stylish, the one phrase that is sure to come to mind when you see these eco-friendly hand-made coin purses is the catch-phrase, “If you’ve got it; flaunt it.”
The Strong and Silent Shopping Bag
A few times a month, you find yourself browsing the aisles of your local grocery store in order to stock up on those last minute purchases you just have to have. When you finally make your way to the cashier you are greeted with the question, “Paper or plastic”. If you carry along an eco-friendly shopping bag when you go grocery shopping, you could be the one to proudly say, “Neither” in response to the cashier’s question.
Eco friendly shopping bags can make a big difference to the preservation of the planet. Recycled handbags are made in countries like Cambodia where they are handcrafted from reclaimed sarongs; the traditional clothing of the Cambodians. Not only are the exteriors of the bags made from recycled materials, the pouches on the inside of the bags are also made from recycled newspapers and old rice bags.
As durable as they are stylish, eco-friendly shopping bags are the ‘strong and silent’ type in the world of grocery bags. They are capable of carrying your groceries home without a murmur of protest and will happily accompany you on your next shopping trip and many more after that too.
