I was beginning to think I’d seen handbags crafted from every recycled material imaginable, but it seems I was wrong. Green Veranda uses humble newspapers to create its eye-catching range of accessories.
That might make some folks worry about taking Green Veranda bags out in the rain, but there’s no need to stress. The intricate newspaper panels are protected with resin to ensure they don’t turn into a soggy mess in a shower!
The panels of this Sunshine Pete bag aren’t just green in color; they’re also green in the ecological sense! While it looks like satin, this fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Green Veranda bags are made by a Fair Trade co-op of Brazilian women, so they help to support communities in need and the planet.
But the ethical efforts of Green Veranda don’t stop there. The brand also plants a tree for every item sold on its website. A percentage of profits also benefits a cause selected by the customer. Green Veranda shoppers can help to stop hunger, fight to cure serious diseases, or save the planet.
