Land’s End Launches New Line of Eco-Friendly Bags Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

Posted on: Sep 3

I wouldn't exactly call catalog company Land's End a brand on the cutting edge of fashion, but they are making some advances in eco-friendly production.

The retailer is adding a new line of "green" bags to its collection of apparel and accessories. The new products include backpacks, messenger bags, totes, and travel bags in a practical ripstop polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. The intricate process of creating the fabric results in a marriage of environmentally-conscious and durable.

Shannon Lelouch, director of product development for the company, summed it up another way:

"At Lands' End, we always look for ways to develop new and innovative products that our customers will value and appreciate. The new Eco-friendly collection offers a perfect combination of green innovation, performance and functionality. It's a great green choice for any age."

The line of recycled bottle bags ranges from $24.50 for a simple tote to $129.50 for the carry-on travel bag with a padded laptop pocket. They hits Land's End website and catalogs just in time for students heading back to school.
