Best Damn Eco-Bags Ever: Feel Handmade Hemp Sailboat
Feel Handmade Hemp Sailboat Bag, exclusively for EcoStiletto ($424)
Need a new bag? We’re obsessed with each and every one of those that we’re featuring this month, which gives us an opportunity to talk—ad nauseum, if you’ve been reading EcoStiletto for a while—about the many shades of sustainable fashion.
Whether you’re vegan, into upcycling and fair trade, or just plain chemical-phobic, we’ve got eco-accessory options that let you carry your heart on your sleeve. So the next time someone says, “Great bag!” you can tell her exactly, thoroughly and unequivocally why it is, indeed.
We’ve been fortunate enough to inspire our own exclusive EcoStiletto scent, our own signature cocktail—and now, so freakin’ exciting—we’ve got a handbag we can call our very own. An EcoStiletto exclusive, Feel Handmade’s Hemp Sailboat Bag is classic, chic and oh-so-cool. It’s like a sustainable version of the beloved Birkin bag—and it was created just for us, um, you—our devoted ecoistas.
This perfect everyday bag is made from sustainable hemp with veggie-leather trim, meaning no harmful herbicides or pesticides contributed to the making of your purse. Like all Feel Handmade bags, 95% of it is made by hand, meaning with actual hands—no tools to speak of. For that remaining 5% of sewing and metal work, the husband-and-wife team behind the Feel Handmade brand use a German walking-foot sewing machine and kiln. (Yes, really.)
And though we know you’ll treasure your Feel Handmade for EcoStiletto Hemp Sailboat Bag for eternity, it’s good to know that baby’ll biodegrade beautifully, should future generations eventually wear it out.
