This Year, Mother’s Day is in the Bag.

by Tracy

Just in time for Mother’s Day, the arrival of UrthBags at Tread Light Gifts. These  stylish bags are hand-crafted from recycled and biodegradable materials by Fair Trade Women’s Organizations & Artisans. What’s extraordinary about these bags is the recycled materials they are made with are everyday items in your house: juice boxes, magazines, telephone books.

Take a sneak peak:

This bag is made from the inner-silver insulation lining of a juice box.

Old magazines are used to create this fashion forward bag.

Can you guess what materials this one is made from?

{Giveaway} Spring Into Urth With A Recycled Magazine Handbag

Not long ago I had the opportunity to review an adorable recycled seashell handbag from UrthBags. To this day every time I use my handbag, I get compliments! I absolutely love my bag.

In celebration of Spring, GoGreenSt wants to give one of our readers their very own UrthBag made from recycled seashells (shown below) or recycled magazines (shown to the left)! If you missed my last UrthBag giveaway, the UrthBag line of purses are fashion forward, eco-friendly, and a must-have for every eco-chic! Made from recycled materials that would otherwise be tossed into the trash, you do not have to feel guilty for owning 1-2-or even 3! Any gal rocking one of the oh-so-sexy UrthBags purses is bound to catch attention and make an eco-fashion statement.

From The UrthBags Website…Monica Ralli, founder of UrthBags Eco-Chic Handbags, has created a one-of-a-kind line to help inspire people to develop a stronger sense of eco-consciousness while making a stylish, green fashion statement. “Our handbags became a vehicle for this mission” says Ralli. “I wanted to create a line of stylish & planet friendly purses made from recycled materials that were Eco-chic, smart & green.” What resulted was a distinct handbag line that is not only making its mark in the world of avant-garde fashion, but also in the environmentally conscious community.

UrthBag’s Victoria Bag!

UrthBags – Hip Handbags Made from Recycled Materials

If you are a fan of thegreenbeagle.com you have heard me mention a number of times my love for UrthBags Eco-Chic & Recycled Handbags! I am a huge shoe and purse gal and have always had trouble buying designer bags because I will not buy or wear leather! For a fashion forward lady such as myself I am constantly disappointed in my searches for new accessories. I don’t want to buy just any old bag even if it is animal friendly. I do have standards after all.
Being that I am an environmentally conscience shopper I prefer to buy from companies I trust and respect. After a long search I stumbled upon UrthBags am pretty sure I am in handbag heaven!!! I am obsessed!
I waited a while before using the bag because I wanted to wait for the perfect outfit and when the moment arrived it was great! I found the perfect dress that was the perfect compliment to my new Victoria UrthBag!!!!
I come from a large family not always very interested in my “hippie ways” but all of my aunts and even grandmother loved my Victoria Bag! They all asked me where I got the bag, what it was made from and where they can get one! Usually they think my handbags are over the top or silly!
It was completely worth the wait to use the bag! I love when people compliment what I am wearing or using so that I have a chance to explain where and why I purchased it! Its an excellent way to educate people who otherwise may not have ever sought out this product.
