Earth Week Party! Eco-fashionable Handbags and Accessories: English Retreads Giveaway!
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
I am so excited to introduce you guys to English Retreads, a company that proves that we don't have to give up fashion to live an eco-conscious life! English Retreads offers consumers an ecologically sound and oh so beautiful alternative to animal products by creating one-of-a-kind handbags and accessories from 100% reused rubber inner tubes! Yes, that's right these beauties are made from used tires. In fact, English Retreads gets their inner tubes from truck stops in the Boulder, Colorado area and each tire has more than 60,000 miles on it! Pretty cool, huh?About English Retreads (from the website):
Founded on socially and environmentally conscious ideals, English Retreads believes in using only cruelty-free and vegan materials in conjunction with crafty ingenuity. English Retreads’ founder, Heather English, says her design philosophy is to create classic, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted accessories that make a high-impact fashion statement and a low impact on the environment.
Not only are English Retreads bags and accessories gorgeous, but each design that is made means less waste is going into our landfills!
Check out these eco-fabulous beauties!
I haven't had the pleasure to try out one of these gorgeous bags yet, but one of you will!
Win It! English Retreads has generously offered to give one Jolly Mom reader a Large Model T Luxe Tote with Pumpkin Lining valued at $169!
