Eco Friendly Shoulder Bags: Avoid Buying Mass Produced

All About Felts which we talked about their eco friendly slippers , also sells Eco-friendly handmade shoulder bags !

It's no secret that places like Etsy have evolved the fact of buying handmade clothing and accessories , putting the handmade back into marketplace, and couture back into our wardrobes. The blog from the maker of Eco Friendly Handmade Shoulder Bags eludes that the trend for buying handmade may be blamed on famous maker Nike.

She says, "Ever since the Nike press release and court case in 2001, people have tried to move away from mass produced commercialism and looked for a nobler cause. Handmade goods are a more expensive, but higher quality, more ethical alternative than buying from a mass distributor like Nike. But it is hard for people to change their ways when the determining factor is a leap in price."

Her All About Felts website also shows the ways of Eco-friendly manufacturing, and help educate consumers on why buying handmade shoulder bags is a step forward for the environment.

What Do We Think? 

With small indie handmade, you can feel confident knowing you are buying a product whose designer has taken great care in it's work. Most processes are more eco friendly, greener and eco conscious on the environment versus large scale overseas corporations whose mass produce practices may be questioned. 

Sure, it's true that some indie is more expensive, but a few extra bucks for a comparable item and you can sleep at night--not worrying how many children were worked in sweatshops producing your item, or how much pollution has been put into the air from overseas factories.

I've priced a lot of indie work and you may indeed be able to wear your indie designed OOAK couture purse for much less than any famous maker, so do consider buying handmade.
 
 

Nature Bags of Jungle Vine Support the People of Laos

kirkscubagear is offering these Lovely Nature Bags. Nature Bags are made of wild growing Jungle Vine--by the people of Laos (Southeast Asia). Essentially this is a 5000 year old tradition of weaving which allows the ancient Khmu culture to use the natural vines of that region and turn them into something functional. The jungle vine is actually opened and stripped of it's core, which is a white ribbony like twine. The twine is then woven together and then woven into the bags!  Amazing strength and beauty comes from these sturdy bags which come in many shapes and sizes!   

These environmentally friendly reusable tote bags and grocery sized bags still come from small villages who are struggling with poverty. Primarily the women have been busy utilizing their thousand-year old traditions by making these bags and you can feel good knowing your purchase helps the people of this region.   Many styles and types are available, so go to kirk scuba gear who is an authorized retailer of these bags to find out more!
