America Ferrara's Earth-Friendly Tote

ferrara_handbag.jpg

What's better than an adorable, new spring handbag? How about an adorable handbag that's also good for the environment? When I saw this colorful purse on Ugly Betty, the shopper in me said, "Gotta have it!"

When I found out that the bag was made from recycled juice packs and nylon rice bags (it sounds weird, I know) my tree-hugging self knew I couldn't live without it! (Ahem, I do try to recycle my water bottles whenever I can.)

I employed my detecting (errr ... shopping) skills, so here's the 411: The bag was made by Half the Sky Designs and it's part of their REBAGZ collection, which come in a variety of shapes and styles at www.halftheskydesigns.com.

What do you think of the woven goodness?

Hmmmm i just tried to post something but its not showing up...so I'll just repost what I said.

I think that bag is fabulous! I'm just wondering, if you were shopping at a store, and there was a section designated to only environmentally friendly or "green" clothing, would you be more likely to shop in that section? and do you find the bag posted on this site more appealing because it is an environmentally friendly item, or because its cute?

Damn, $95 for one of those bags?? they are insane or what??

They are garbage after all...

In the streets of Taxco(mexico) one of those $95 garbage bags is only $14 and the small ones are about 5 bucks.. I bought mine there and i love it and it isn't only enviroment frendly but also social friendly since I bougth it to a woman who made them right there and was in need of that money..

I would search another options before buying to that store.

You go, Yompo! I'm all for being socially AND environmentally friendly. Besides, with the economy the way it is, those of us who love fashion but don't have unlimited incomes need to re-evaluate if a $95 bag is REALLY a necessity.
