I have such an addiction to messenger bags, totebags, purses and the like, it can be a bit crazy. What I love about them is that they are all unique and have their place in my life. I have a bag for this occasion and a tote for that project. You know what I mean. But I can honestly say that I am super thrilled to tell you I think I have found my one and only true love. The Zero Waste Messenger bag from Rickshaw Bags is my happy secret. A secret I am willing to share with you.
Why am I so over the top for this bag? There are plenty of reasons. First, Rickshaw’s Performance Tweed is made entirely from recycled plastic, which makes it extra durable and completely eco-friendly. The fabric looks and feels like normal herringbone tweed. It is beautiful! The bag I got is a small messenger style bag with a large flap that covers the entire front. It has a full size velcro strip so nothing is coming out of this bag easily. The interior has 2 deep pockets on the outside and one inside. There is velcro that runs on the interior of the bag for attaching one of their fabulous Accessory organizing bags that you can buy separately. It is cool! The bag appears smaller than what it holds. It comes with a very long adjustable strap so you can get the prefect length. My bag came in a fabulous signature Performance Tweed color called Secret Garden. This bag is perfect for my life!
Here is more cool info about this Rickshaw Bag. The Zero platform is specially designed to optimize fabric cutting and reduce manufacturing waste. It’s made from scratch in Rickshaw’s San Francisco factory using domestically sourced materials thereby shortening the raw material supply chain and reducing its ecological footprint. To facilitate recycling, this bag is made entirely of nylon. The result is elegantly simple and functional.

Do you know now why I am over the moon? Can you understand? This bag style comes in a multitude of colors and sizes to fit your life as well! That is not including a host of other bags that they hand make in the most eco friendly methods. They even shipped my bag to me in an eco friendly reusable bag. It was awesome!
