Flaunt Your Eco-Fashion

Daily Greenz #88

Ecoist’s
unique bags are bound to be a conversation-starter. These funky, colorful designs
are made fromAccessoriescandywrapperclutch_2
repurposed candy wrappers, soda labels, and other food packages rescued from
manufacturers due to misprints or over-production. They’re made in Mexico and Peru  under fair-trade, sweatshop-free conditions, ensuring that your purchase
reduces landfill and sustains a community of local artisans.

We
love the Envelope clutch, which is made out of hand-folded candy wrappers and
is water-resistant. It comes in four
different colors and is available for $90 at www.ecoist.com. That’s not all: for every bag you purchase,
Ecoist will plant a tree to help reduce global warming. Working in conjunction with Trees for the
Future, they’ve planted countless trees in India, Uganda, Haiti, Mexico, and
the U.S.
