Hi! I am Jackie with Ford Models. With so many things happening today with the green movement, it is really important for fashion to step up and today, I have a lot of accessories to talk about.
This collection in particular was made by ecoist.com. What they do is they make other bas from repurposed candy wrappers. This one is super colorful. It is very eclectic. This bag is great because it is also made from repurposed candy wrappers but you would never know. It is silver. Looks just like a Fendi bag, really sturdy. This bag is also made by ecoist.com. The made this bag out of recycled movie poster. So, something that was going to be thrown out anyway; they have been able to turn it into a bag. So, these next two bags can be found at BTC Elements. This bag is made by Harveys, it is made from recycled seatbelts. It is a smart looking bag, great colors. So, this bag is from English Retread. It is made from truck and tractor inner tubes. They are rescued from land fills. It is cute. It is dainty. It is really soft.
So, it is not just about bags. It is about jewelry too. So, these earrings are made from old skateboard decks. They are really cute. The back has scratch art work on it. So, every pair of earrings is going to be very unique. These earrings are made from recycled tins and cans so they look vintage. And then here is another pair. They say spicy to give a little attitude to the earrings. So, there is a great store here in New York. It is called AuH2O and they did these car emblems which are really great. This is an old Ford Mustang emblem. It is really chunky so you could throw it on a really simple outfit. This is an old Cadillac emblem. It is a little bit daintier.
So, all these bags are really great. And most important thing to remember is the fact that 14 billion plastic bags are being used a year. So, if you break it down, that is 425 bags a person. These bags are so great because they help to cut down the use of plastic bags. This one is made by B happy bags; still fashionable staying with the leopard print. The next two bags are from reusablebags.com. So, this is made from recycled plastic bottles but you would never know because the material is so soft. This bag is made from hemp and what is so great about this is that it is so big and if you fill this bag up, and use it just one time, it is the same as saving four to six plastic bags. Everywhere you look there are so many green options. So, get out there and do your part and look good while you do it.
