sustainable salvatore

I absolutely had to interrupt an intense session of last-minute paper writing with this discovery: molto moda Florentine designer Salvatore Ferragamo has an environmentally friendly bag line called Eco Ferragamo. The leather used to make these biodegradable bags is dyed using tannins from tree bark, and the insides are lined with hand-woven hemp.

I don't know what's more jaw-dropping, that big-fashion Ferragamo is jumping on the green bandwagon or the line's $1,190 to $1,980 price tag.

I think for now I'll settle for the Marc by Marc Jacobs nylon Eco-tote for $9.  Hey, at least it comes in green.
