    Green Style Guide


    While being Green is always in Style, being Green has not always been done with style. Our vision is to up the anti in the functional green accessories for you and your home and provide some helpful hints along the way.

    The way we see it.

    This is an evolving trend, not a fad. It is here to stay. When thinking about reusable bags, select wisely the first time. After all, it is about reusing.

    • Pick bags that you like – if you like it, you will use it
    • Pick bags from sensible materials – natural fibers are a good place to start. For example, cotton is washable and durable.
    • Pick bags that are functional. Like our handbags, we want something that works. Think about size, shape, stability, comfort. A great bag can be a thing of joy.


    Did you know?

    Most of the free/cheap bags at grocery stores are made from polypropylene, an oil based fiber. They are made in China and shipped to the US. Between the use of oil, the expensive and polluting production and the shipping, it is hard to come up with a bigger carbon footprint for a bag.

    All our produce and grocery bags are machine washable.  One thing you can do to live an even more sustainable lifestyle is to wash our bags in cold water.  Save the hot water for your occasional spa baths!
