From the website:
“With the plastic bag ban going city by city, I was left wondering what to take to the store. Why was there not a fashionable yet environmentally friendly alternative to carry groceries in rather than my designer handbag?!?
All of our bags are made in the USA from 100% Cotton Canvas and individually screen printed in Los Angeles, California. Each bag is a one of a kind product and supports the US economy!”

Baggu:
1. The Japanese word for “bag”
2. An awesome company located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that makes sustainable reusable bags in many shapes and colors.
I visited the Baggu headquarters a few weeks ago, and just last week purchased my very first Baggu bag: the backpack in coral.
Happy Earth Day friends!!!
This Earth Day, let’s talk frankly. I know it’s hard to live life as eco-consciously as many of us would like. I admit I’ll occasionally throw away a glass bottle if there’s no recycling nearby. I still buy clothes once in a while at H&M and Forever 21. They’re cute, cheap and disposable. But each year I get better, and I feel more and more guilty each time I buy something I know was made cheaply (in more ways than one). Slowly but surely, my lifestyle and my wardrobe are becoming more, well, green.
But, to paraphrase a very wise frog: it ain’t easy. That’s why days like Earth Day and events like Earth Hour are so great. They’re both reminders that we should be recycling and turning off lights every day, as well as opportunities for us to go above and beyond our usual efforts. I’ll admit, all I did this Earth Day was pick up some trash on the beach with my friends. But I’ll also admit that I don’t regularly pick up trash on the beach. So I guess that’s a start. 
The next step will be: pick up trash more often. Remember to turn the water off when I brush my teeth. Take shorter showers. Buy energy-saver light bulbs. And of course, practice the seven habits of highly effective eco-fashionistas.
What did you do this Earth Day? What’s your Earth Day resolution?
I don’t pretend to be an expert on sustainable fashion, green living, or even eco sex. I founded this blog to share what I learn as I learn it. After all, I’ve only just made my 3rd eco-friendly fashion purchase. I’m practically an eco-fetus!
I still like to go shopping, and it’s a tall order to go to a mall and only buy eco-friendly and ethically-sourced clothing. One of my goals in this project, though, is to raise awareness so that we as consumers are more engaged, retailers realize that we want that sustainable stuff, and it becomes easier to find.
But for now, baby steps. Continue reading
If you decide to brave the stores on Black Friday this year (or on any day really) why not take along an awesome eco-friendly reusable shopping bag and forgo all the paper and plastic ones? Some stores are moving away from these – I was pleasantly surprised when my recent purchase at Urban Outfitters was given to me in a cloth bag – but there is still lots of shopping-bag waste. Here are two great options to up your sustainability points this holiday season:
1. Baggu
These are just three of Continue reading
