Foley + Corinna Eco-Friendly City! - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

lilstrlett · June 22nd, 2008, 04:43 PM

Foley + Corinna has made an eco-friendly version of the lovely City! The Country Tote is made from recycled coffee bean sacks. And don’t forget that burlap is biodegradable. The trim and handles are made with leather. It may not be organic, but something must be said for not leaving a legacy of junk cluttering the earth behind us!

The price is still as high as the all leather bags at $444.

Would you wear this bag?

It's ok...but it looks like a potato sack, lol.

lilstrlett · June 22nd, 2008, 05:36 PM

Haha it does... I guess potato and coffee sacks are the same material.

I was just thinking, coffee sack purse for a coffee addict, like I am. That would be good :)

haha, it does look like a potato sack! It's cool how F+C came out with an eco-made purse, but this one just doesn't appeal to me.

I'm thinking I'm more in love with the idea of it being Eco-friendly than the bag itself, but I would love to see what it looks like in person

^^ I'm with ya on that one.

I like the idea of the eco friendly bag but not too fond of the look or the price for that matter!
It would be cute for the coffee shop!
