Recycled Chic

Katie and I are big fans of consignment shopping. You know that if you read the blog with any frequency (which of course we hope you do). While this post is not about consignment, it is about recycling your clothing.

Here is how it works! When you bring a bag of used clothes to an H&M store, you will receive a voucher for 15% off a single item!

What happens next? A recycling company called I:Collect sorts the garments, sells the still "wearables" and turns the rest into new products like cleaning cloths and car insulation!

So next time you have a bag of castoffs, take it to H&M. Do good, feel good and get something new out of it!

Post It

Switzerland is one of my most favorite places in the entire world. When I saw these bags, I knew I had to have one. They are made from recycled Swiss Post Mail Bags, and given the motto of the Swiss Postal Service, "For the Most Discerning Customers in the World," the bags have to be as fabulous as they look.

The bags are available at Europeanmarket.us. Now I just have to decide which one will be in the post to my house!

Tote Bag $80

Messenger $68

Cosmetic Bag $35

Duffle $184
