Looking for the ultimate eco accessory? Look no further than UrthBags.
This is a company that creates something from nothing (or most peoples trash). They actually have an entire line made out of recycled juice boxes and old magazines! Additionally they use biodegradable materials for some styles.
Urth also works with Fair Trade organizations to manufacture their bags. Their mission is to promote a hip, earth-friendly lifestyle and provide opportunities to those who are less fortunate. Their goal is to inspire more people to recycle, reuse & become more Eco-minded in our overly ‘disposable’ world.
They recently sent me one of their “juice box” handbags to try. So far not one toddler has asked for a drink from my purse.
The Monica Retails for $56
They sent over the “Monica” which I knew I would love for evening wear because of the matte silver color. I was really surprised at how good the bag looked.
I left some lovely designer bags at home to take the “Monica” out to a fancy Hollywood fundraiser! I kept hoping someone would pay it a compliment so I could brag that it was made of juice boxes! I’m taking it out a few times this holiday season so cross your fingers!
Take a minute to look through all the great styles they offer and next time you want to add a handbag to your collection, consider helping the earth by selecting an Urth Handbag.
