Fashion Juice saw more eco-friendly bags at Forever 21. If I were to buy a “green” bag, I’d buy

or

Why? If you’re doing this for Mother Earth, why not spread the word? Rather than just getting floral designs, get something that has a statement worth spreading! From the above two, the second bag looks nicer with the brown and white stripe handle. However, I would rather buy the first one because it’s bigger. The purpose of these eco-friendly bags are to save on plastic and paper bags. If you’re gonna use it for shopping, then the second one would defeat its purpose. It’s like using it just for the sake of POPULARITY and not for the CAUSE.

OTHER FOREVER21 ECO BAGS…

Victoria’s Secret has recently produced irresistible cute green bags. Will add a pic soon… For now, this Victoria’s Secret Pink Everyday Tote are great shopping bags too.

Eco-Friendly “Green” Bags on the loose…

Posted on February 25th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

The much talked about green bag or eco-friendly bag in mid-2007 was Anya Hindmarch’s I’m not a plastic bag! Imagine having an Anya Hindmarch bag for only $15! Yup, that’s right! Hindmarch’s bags are usually worth hundreds of dollars. So when she released this bag, fashionistas were all talking about it. The bag was supposed to be used as a shopping or market bag, so you don’t have to use plastic or paper bag… Imagine, when it was released in Whole Foods NYC, the 3,000 bags were sold out in 2 hours! The line started the night before the release! The I’m not a plastic bag was a hit! It was not the usual shopping bag. It came in a stylish package. Too bad Fashion Juice was not able to acquire one.

So when everyone saw all the hype caused by this fashionable shopping bag, everyone started making green bags as well. Take for example:

Beau Soleil’s Raw Cotton Tote = $45

Diane von Furstenberg’s Floral Tote = $45

Juicy Couture California Canvas Tote = $75

My Bag Cares = $20

Hot Bags taken from InStyle magazine:

1. Boy Meets Girl Canvas Tote = $18, seen on Rachel Bilson
2. Method Plastic Bag Rehab Nylon Tote = $15, seen on Kerry Washington
3. Envirosax Monochrome Polyester Tote = $9, seen on Kyra Sedgwick

4. Tina Tang Peace, Love, Recycle Organic-Cotton Tote = $15, seen on Jessica Biel
5. Baggu Nylon Tote = $8, seen on Vanessa Minnillo
6. Get hip Get Green Recycled Tote = $6, seen on Molly Sims
7. Chico Bag Woven Nylon Bag = $5, seen on Hilary Swank
