Top 5 Eco-Chic Purses: Ecoist

And you thought we would forget perennial favourite Ecoist in our top 5? Not a chance.

Founded in 2004, Ecoist develops unique gifts and fashion accessories for the eco-minded individual. Their objective is to merge design with social and environmental consciousness to provide stylish, functional, and durable products that people will love to own. All their products are made from recycled, organic, or earth-friendly materials, and are manufactured through their network of fair trade partnerships around the world.

Our current fave is the movie billboard bag. With endless colors, patterns, and images, these one-of-a-kind handbags are made from repurposed movie billboards. In collaboration with Modulab, Ecoist collects outdoor movie billboards that were headed for a landfill. Sturdy, durable, and waterproof! Pictured: Fast & The Furious Tokyo Drift.
