The IT Bag
April 8th, 2008
Hey, everyone wants to sport the next “it” bag. And frankly, we think this is it.
If you think eco-fashion is destined to remain clunky shoes and sarongs, think again. This tote is roomy (like, it could fit Mary Kate roomy) and oh-so fabulous.
Why is it fabulous? Well, ask yourself how many cork bags YOU’VE seen on the street lately. None you say? Why? Because you think of cork as a crumbly, heavy substance reserved for thumb-taking pictures? We thought so too, but this bag just broke all the rules.
Pick it up and it’s light as a feather. Feel the cork and you’ll find a thin, pliable leather-like material that holds together perfectly. The cork is paired with organic cotton and help detailing, which – yes we know – hemp isn’t supposed to look this good either – will ensure that should you choose to buy this HANDMADE in the USA must-have bag for summer, you will in fact be an It Girl, on an It Street, carrying The Most It Eco-Friendly Fashions available.
Fabulous.

Got mine in the mail about 8 days ago… love it, but am disappointed as the cork is flaking off in spots. This bag doesn’t seem too durable to say the least. Disappointing.

I agree with Sarah - I absolutely loved this bag - but I took it out for like 20 minutes and the cork began to fell apart! I am very disappointed - For something so pricey I expected a lot more quality!

I was actually just writing in to say how MUCH I LOVE this bag! I have stuffed it full with everything from magazine and books to bottles of water and I haven’t had any problems at all. I schlep it on the subway and everywhere else in between. So glad I splurged!

I would like to share my experience with this bag which I had for over a year. This is a very stylish bag. When I go out with it, I always get a lot of compliments. People always look at it!!! At the same time I’m very proud of wearing one of the most eco friendly materials!!!
I’m happy to be an owner of this bag!
