Harveys' woven seatbelt bags may be eco-friendly and practical, but they're hardly chic or sophisticated. Now the brand offers us something different with the Posie Boat Tote.
The label retains its environmentally friendly ethos and love of seatbelts, but the look is something completely new. New York fashion illustrator Sujean Rim is behind the beautiful watercolor floral design. Flowery prints can so often look old-fashioned, but the artistic touch makes this tote look much more modern. The design is printed on horizontally stitched seatbelts, an effect which is much subtler than the woven bags we've seen from the brand. More seatbelts are used as an accent, with their red shade matching the red petals. I love this approach of using seatbelts as embellishments rather than the focus, and I hope to see it in more Harveys bags in future.
The enormous interior is made with organization in mind. Six open pockets feature illustrations of summery goodies, from sunglasses to sunscreen and even a water pistol. You may not use the pockets to carry the proposed items, but it's a fun gimmick. And in case you do want to take Harveys up on its suggestions, the water gun comes free with the bag!
While the internal pockets don't offer much security, your smaller valuables aren't forgotten. The Posie Boat Tote also comes with a detachable coin purse, which doubles as a wristlet.
At $138 the Posie Boat Tote is one of Harveys most expensive bags, but it's also one of the brand's most stylish.

How is this bag environmentally friendly? I looked at their website and they have Zebra stripes, flower prints, etc….on seatbelts? Obviously they are having all this material manufactured especially for these bags. So many companies like Harveys are trying to pass their products off as “green”. You should challenge every “eco-green” product you review and get to the truth.

Being ‘green’ encompasses not just the product itself, but the company’s practices and sustainable philosophy. For example, the bulk of today’s handbags are made offshore, at times with with unfair labor practices in addition to non-eco-friendly materials. Harvey’s TREECYCLE line of Seatbelt Bags are made of 100% recycled seatbelts and are made in the US(supporting the local economy, decreasing transportation costs). Because they make their bags here in the US, they provide jobs, and with their sustainable practice of reducing transportation costs, reusing materials, are thus lowering their carbon footprint. I’d say that makes them a pretty ‘green’ company.
