Creator Thomas Bates got the idea for these modern and stylish totes while exhibiting at a trade show. It was there that he learned the carpet used in the aisles at trade shows, conventions and conferences was thrown away once the event was over. In fact, over 4 billion pounds from these types of events end up in the landfill each year.
Drawn to the durability and corduroy-like texture, not to mention the variety of colors, Thomas Bates and designer Cathy Berse-Hurley created a line of recycled accessories made from the used carpet.
With extreme attention to detail and superb construction, these everyday purses help keep thousands of pounds of carpet out of landfills. Being green never looked so good.
Zipper top, large interior, black straps. Made in the USA.
