Fair Trade Eco-fashion UrthBags {Review & Giveaway} {CLOSED}
January 16, 2010 | Filled Under Eco-Friendly Fashion, Green Giveaways
UrthBags has my attention this week! The company proves that eco-friendly fashion does not have to be bland! The totally eco-chic handbag company creates recycled material handbags and totes that are stylish, fashionable, eco-friendly and a must have for the fashion conscious! UrthBags not only creates their trendy handbags from recycled materials but also utilizes fair trade conditions for the artisans. Recycled juice box bags, sea shell bags, recycled magazine bags and recycled newspaper bags are all among the stunning bags offered by UrthBags! After seeing these adorable bags I will never look at juice boxes, sea shells, magazines or newspapers the same!
Monica Ralli, UrthBag owner, was nice enough to send me my very own “Nancy” bag for review! (Thank you Monica!) I waited for the shipment of my new bag to arrive with great expectations! When the delivery guy rang my door bell I ran to the door, grabbed my package and skipped into the kitchen to rip into the box. By seeing the pictures online of the bags, I knew my bag would be beautiful, but had no clue just how much prettier it would be in person, until I opened the box and was able to feast my eyes upon the shinny natural sea shells surrounding the “Nancy” Bag!
WOW, the Nancy bag is beautiful! The light colored sea shells are attached in rows across the entire bag and the inside is a bright white satin fabric lining. The dark handle makes the entire bag really “pop”! The Nancy bag is definitely a beautiful fashion accessory for the evening or any dressy event! The bag measures 10″L x 2.5″W x 5″H, so it is not to big and not to small. Just perfect for a wallet, lipstick, car keys and cell phone to all fit comfortably.
What I Loved About The “Nancy” Bag
- The sea shells are a stunning accent for a “dress” event.
- Due to the natural color, the bag will accent any attire!
- The handbag is well crafted, making it worth every penny it cost!
- The Nancy bag is perfectly sized for a woman who wants a compact bag.
What I Love About UrthBags as a Company
- UrthBags creates jobs for the less fortunate, via Fair Trade working conditions. I only support ethical businesses.
- The combination of resourcefulness and design, create amazing handbags that are hip and earth-friendly! I can own as many as I want, without feeling guilty!
