Recycled Material Bags Are Hip By Delia Montgomery | Published: November 30, 2009

UrthBags

For the past two years, founder Monica Ralli of UrthBags in California, developed strategies to inspire people. Her goal was to create a stronger sense of eco-consciousness on our overly-disposable planet.

Monica’s company handbag materials are milk cartons, juice boxes, telephone books, and newspapers. The craftspeople are artisans from across the globe. Designers are both staffed and sourced.

To seal the hip, whimsical, smart ‘n green image visioned, Monica adds salvaged items like seashells, fashion magazines and coconuts to her designs. Individuals can shop online and minimums are reasonable for small specialty boutiques.

We are honored to announce that UrthBags Eco-Chic Handbags just donated a $75 Gift Certificate to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s upcoming Gala & Silent Auction event on 12/05/09 in Seattle, Washington.  Please visit their website for details about this wonderful event: www.fhcrc.org

Everything old CAN be new again, and another company (UrthBags) is stepping up to the plate with a range of pocketbooks that repurpose very common materials in eye-pleasing ways.

Their collection of recycled magazine bags are different from what one Greenwala member recently posted about because these are made waterproof via salvaged exterior plastic (unlike the other design which has to be kept out of the rain).

Available in 5 different styles, no two designs will ever be alike since UrthBags harvests entirely different magazine pages for each.

That same principle applies to their woven recycled newspaper bags (available in 3 styles) and their recycled telephone book bag (pictured above and available in just one style…but it’s cool).

With bags being made out of candy/snack bar wrappers, juice pouches and even old umbrellas, I can’t wait to see what designers are going to think of next!
