Heavy Eco Messenger

Heavy Eco MessengerHeavy Eco is helping to improve the futures of Eastern European crims with its eco-friendly range of accessories.

Prisoners in Eastern European jails make all Heavy Eco accessories from recycled billboard banners. The program gives the creators vital skills, which elevates their self esteem in the short term and improves their job prospects once they’ve served their time.

There aren’t any evening ready bags in the collection as yet, but the messengers, totes, laptop sleeves, and wallets should have you covered during the day. Organic cotton T-shirts and underwear complements the Heavy Eco accessories range.

Heavy Eco’s humanitarian efforts go beyond the prison walls. Seven percent of the proceeds of Heavy Eco goods benefits charity projects committed to helping to improve the quality of life of Eastern Europe’s orphans and homeless population.

You can support Heavy Eco’s charity work, and enjoy a fun eco-friendly accessory at the same time, by purchasing an item from selected European stores or the company’s website.
