<\/a>\"dudeEco-bags are IN, and not just for cool re-usable grocery shopping bags either. In my travels (literally), I\u2019ve come across some very cool eco-style bags \u2013 and they aren\u2019t all just re-used burlap sacs either!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a few of my favorites<\/strong><\/p>\n

GG2G \u2013 ReVynalized Bags & Accessories<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Bringing their philosophy of recycle and re-use into their design world, friends Day and Alison have created a fun and beautiful line of bags and accessories made from recycled billboards lined with organic cotton. I have a couple of their bags and they always attract a lot of attention.<\/p>\n

Ella Vickers \u2013 Recycled Sail Cloth Bags<\/strong><\/a>
\nGo nautical with these eco-friendly bags made from recycled sails from around the world. Ella, a sailor herself, started making the bags from old sails and friends started wanting them. Her \u2018urban-chic\u2019 collection includes a variety of designs and sizes from small cocktail cache\u2019 to totes and duffel bags.
\n<\/p>\n

Bazura Bags(TM) \u2013 Colorful Bags Made from Packaging Waste<\/strong><\/a>
\nThese bags are made by a women\u2019s cooperative in the Philippines sing \u2018Pre-Consumer\u2019 waste packaging gathered from juice container manufacturers in and around Manila. Normally this material would end up in landfills. It\u2019s so much more \"bazurafun as a bag!<\/p>\n

Rejavanate(TM) \u2013 Re-Usable Bags for Earth & Social Conscience<\/strong><\/a>
\nOkay, so these bags are burlap, BUT they are customizable and their story is a great one. On their website, I learned that 800,000 tons of burlap is land filled every year in the US. Whew! That\u2019s a lot of burlap going to waste. Rejavanate bags are made from real coffee bags that were headed to the land fills. This company also employs developmentally disabled individuals who might not otherwise find work.<\/p>\n

Gecko Market Bags \u2013 Beautifully-colored Bags made of Former Rice Sacs<\/a>
\n<\/strong>These beautiful bags are made in Cambodian village in a certified Fair Trade environment. Love these bags!<\/p>\n
