Designer Handbags
Got it in the Bag
E: The Environmental Magazine, July-August, 2005 by: Rebecca
Sanborn, Brian C. Howard
Move over Prada, there's a new bag in town. The Zipsack by Wrapsacks
($11.95) is small enough to fit in your pocket and large enough
to carry all of your groceries. Made of hand-dyed cotton in
a range of bright colors, these bags zip up neatly into small
pouches that would fit easily into a purse or glove compartment.
When unzipped, they are approximately the size of a grocery
bag with a small pocket sewn into the top for valuables. Aside
from their convenience, durability and good looks, these bags
can also help reduce the number of flimsy plastic sacks that
end up dogging your closets and piling up in landfills. Wrapsacks
also offers reusable fabric gift bags in many colors and styles.
 Bags
from Annon Fashion are designed for girls and young women ages
13 to 22, and are perfect for anyone craving some 80s revival
denim. The two-person, father and daughter company hand makes
all of its bags from recycled blue jeans. The five fun styles
currently available (more are forthcoming) include backpacks
($24 to $26), a smaller handbag ($20), a drawstring bag ($28)
and a messenger bag ($28). No two items are exactly alike. Designer
and founder Roderick Annon Warfield explains that by using recycled
material, his company is "doing our part not to waste,
or take for granted what we have in this country." CONTACT:
