Massachusetts based label Zaum is going green with its new eco-friendly purse collections.
Felt, and organic varieties of cotton, canvas, and twill are all used to create the striking bags which range from the small Eco Lola clutches and Eco_i iPhone pouches to larger Eco Avia messenger bags and Eco Spesa totes. Those warm colors come not from nasty chemicals, but from natural vegetable dyes.
While Zaum is focusing on its green credentials, it hasn’t forgotten about all of those functional features we love. Adjustable shoulder straps, interior pockets, and secure magnetic snaps are all there to make our lives easier.
Not all Zaum bags are created equal though. Many won’t please green fashionistas as they’re made from vinyl. I’d love to see Zaum phase these bags out entirely, but while they bring in the dollars I won’t hold my breath. Thankfully each green bag bears the Eco name, so it’s easy for eco-conscious shoppers to spot the label’s earth-friendly accessories.
You’ll find them at Zaum’s online store and e-retailer Supermarket.
