What made you decide to create a "Green Bag"?: It's what Ecoist has been doing for 5 years.

Where are bags sold?: Boutiques, gift stores in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other places.
What is your design philosophy?: We believe that style comes first. When designing our accessories, it is our basic assumption that no consumer will purchase our products because we are on the mission to save the Earth. Rather, people will buy what looks good on them, or what’s hot, or what celebrities are wearing. However, by promoting our brand, we hope to enhance the planet, elevate consumer consciousness, and transmit our values, not just our sense of style.
