When you are asking about the collection of handbags and accessories from Engage Green we will always take both paper and plastic. Engage Green, founded by artist Leonor Mendoza, designs fashionable and eco-friendly bags that are made from woven recycled paper, recycled plastic (PETE), organic cotton/hemp and cork.

It takes 18 post-consumer 16 oz. plastic drinking bottles to make one yard of the material used to make their recycled plastic handbags. Recycling used soda and water bottles keeps billions of containers out of the world’s landfills and oceans, conserves crude oil and reduces harmful air emissions that lead to global warming. Currently only 3.5% of all plastics generated are recycled.

One of the best things about Engage Green’s products – the price! Handbags range from $28 to $90 (told you we would take both!)
