Eco-Chic: The Five Accessories Messenger Bag Assuages Your Guilt Of Shopping

Small Recycled Messenger

What: Five Accessories Small Recycled Messenger Bag, $32

Why: I've been feeling guilty about shopping lately, with the economy in shambles. That's why I was so delighted to find this Five Accessories Recycled Messenger Bag; and to finally have a reprieve from my spending anxiety. This smallish tote (its dimensions are 6Lx4Wx8.5H) not only features an adjustable strap, credit card pockets, and an adorable tribal-esque print, but the company donates five dollars of every handbag sold to aid a charity in the locale where the good was handmade. And it's made from recycled rice bags. So in one shopping trip I was able to find the ideal present for my Whole Foods–loving aunt, contribute to the well-being of people in Cambodia, and generate further demand for a green-friendly marketplace. Who's feeling guilty now?

    Thanks for the comment, Truc, however we state in our post that the money is donated to the people in Cambodia, which is correct. The bag itself is made of Vietnamese rice bags. Thanks!

    I saw this company at GenArt’s Shop CHICago last spring. I love their stuff and the story of how they give $5.00 from each bag sold to help people in the areas where the good are made.
