As some of you know i write daily at green blog Keetsa and am always up for a post on eco-friendly goodies. Let me tell you about Eco Handbags, a Canadian online shop that focuses on recycled messenger handbags.
They carry a line of stylish and chic bags made from sustainable fibers including hemp, organic cotton, canvas and recycled materials.
Take a look below at laptop bags made using recycled bike inner tubes. Rugged in a nice sexy way, both messenger bags feature leather on the inside, bicycle tube on the outside, an inner tube strap, and Velcro to fasten the bags shut. These are gorgeously designed, too. I’m loving the red one.
The recycled laptop messenger bags start from $78 (CAD) and are available online at Eco Handbags.
im totally dig the bike handbag idea! Thanx for your eco-consciousness! Cheers!

What a great idea! I’m from New York, so they don’t really encourage us all that much to be “green” and recycle. But, recently, my girlfriend has encouraged me to use my own bags to bring my groceries, instead of using the plastic ones. Slowly but surely, I’m starting to notice the difference and how important these issues are.
Oh, the new blog design looks great! Sorry I’ve not been here in a few weeks, it’s my busy wedding season.
I voted in your poll and meant to tick ‘all of the above’ but I think I ticked something else….lol. Just so you know.
Keep up the good work Missy!
That’s funny because the other day I saw a dress made from recycled bike tyres on a fashion blog. I love to see examples of clever products like this.
I just wanted you to know I sent your interview through the contact page. Email me if you have any questions!
By the way it looks in the picture, it looks like a quality, durable product! I wouldn’t mind giving that a tryout. Cool post.

More than a noun, it’s a lifestyle.
It seems to be pretty durable. How much would it cost?
These are very nice, and how excellent that they are made from recycled material. The image that you’ve included is beautiful (I love the soft appearance of that handbag strap)
It looks like a very durable, high-quality handbag that would last for a long time.

Thanxs for all the comments guys. I’ve not been great at returning comments. Sorry about that.
I’m going through older posts now and checking. Thanxs again for visiting!
Missy.
Hey these are some cool handbags you have here. Thank you for showing them to me.
Fantastic finds.Thanks a million. I love the concept of recycled messenger bags.
Wow..nice bags and they look so “new”. Eco Handbags has some really good items also. I really like the one made from automotive seat belts. No shortage of materials there. We have been re-cycling at our home now for 10 years and its amazing to see the stuff we once threw in the trash.
