Today's Eco Friendly Bags Are Friendly On The Eyes Too

By Dean Prater


Whoever said you can not be fashion savvy as well as eco - friendly at the same time? Modern-day pro-environment actions have broken ground by encouraging fashionistas of today to "go green". While it's true, regrettably, that there are still plenty of handbags these days which are composed of a hundred percent quality leather or man-made materials, there's a fast growing trend in the highest echelons of the fashion industry. And lo and behold, the fashion demigods have come up with various eco - friendly (reusable) handbags that even the most particular of fashion gurus would not mind bringing with them.

Synthetic bags, as we all recognize, are the irritation of environmentalists the planet over. Form the initial steps taken to make such "disposable" bags until the instant we toss them away, they definitely do Mother Nature no favors. Do you realize that it would take nature over a thousand years to break up even minute traces of plastic? And what is going to happen to our planet after several more years of being bogged down with tons and tons of plastic that it could not break up quickly enough?

But enough of the depressing talk. Since there are modern day options that support an increasing number of people to take advantage of renewable and recyclable materials to minimize the environmental footprints which we are making. And this can be where eco friendly eco bags come into the picture. These bags, as the name implies, are made from either organic or recycled/re-used resources. If you'd like to be all frank about it, it will be refuse reinvented into something which is good-looking, practical and eco-friendly. But don't go around thinking that such bags appear like those ugly sacks - like bags that date back to the seventies. You are able to calm the style elitist in you since these recycled handbags forego the hobo-chic look. The eco friendly trade show bags which are manufactured and distributed these days are aggressive and are definitely out to produce a fashion testimony.

There are varieties of many of these recycled handbags that are manufactured from hard covers of discarded textbooks as well as vintage shirts! There also are fashion houses that provide you with such chic looking handbags that happen to be made from discarded strips of canvas and there are a few that make use of strips of fabric or maybe silk from the yards and yards of materials that gets left over from preparing those slinky gowns you see superstars wear in red carpet events.

There is no beating around the bush on this one. The world is in trouble. And if we will not take the liability of making a change in how we live, it could all be too late. And as you can see, there are no explanations for us to change into hermits for the sake of being pro-environment. We can still get to enjoy high end fashion and added comforts that contemporary living may give at the same time as being eco - friendly.
