Harveys Seatbelt Wrislet | Eco-Friendly Woven Recycled Seatbelt Bag

Posted on: Nov 12

Although I'm a big proponent of the eco-friendly movement and am all for the practice of using unexpected recycled products in fashion, I've never been a huge fan of the Harveys seatbelt bags. I can appreciate the product for a clever use of the material. However, like the Nahui Ollin candy wrapper bags, I can't help but sometimes see the original material staring back at me when I look at them.

There are a few exceptions to my slight distaste for the brand, though, with one such style being the striped Harveys Rugby Satchel. Now I can add a new one to that short list. This Seatbelt Wristlet from the brand is definitely all seatbelt but on a smaller, more palatable scale.

Perhaps it is the vibrant red hue of the wristlet that attracts me as well. I actually like the way that the weaving on the bag brings out different tones within the color.

Like most practical wristlets, this Harveys design has a detachable wrist strap allowing you to either wear it on your hand, carry it as a clutch, or tuck it in a larger bag for extra storage. The price tag of $78 is a little steep for such a casual wrist bag, in my opinion, but it's not an uncommon range for an eco-friendly line.
