3. Ecoist began in 2004 with the mission of creating green accessories that were also fashionable. Created from recycled and organic materials, the base of Ecoist’s designs come from recycling food wrappers to make functional and environmentally friendly products instead of letting the materials end up in the landfills.

The Ecoist has a variety of hand bag eco designs based on theme. The first theme line is called Classics and these bag designs are what kick started the company. Each bag is a one-of-a-kind hand bag made from repurposed candy wrappers, soda labels and other food packages that have been marked as waste by the manufactures. Some waste wrappers are marked so because of misprints or discontinued packaging designs.
