Rebecca Taylor is doing her bit for animals in need with the release of a new limited edition eco-tote.
The hand-painted image of two dolphins decorates the tote’s eco-friendly canvas body. It’s disappointing though that Rebecca Taylor has opted for leather handles. Clearly she cares more about the dolphins than the world’s cows. Choosing more of the same canvas, as she’s done with the longer shoulder strap, would have been a much more eco-friendly choice.
Rebecca Taylor goes some way towards redeeming the situation by donating 100% of the profits to the National Wildlife Foundation. The funds will help wildlife affected by last year’s BP oil spill and assist in clean-up efforts. Most designers only donate a portion of their charity tote proceeds to their chosen cause, so it’s refreshing to see Taylor going the extra mile.
This new limited edition eco-tote is available for $135 from the Rebecca Taylor website.
