Anyway, these bags are made entirely out of recycled seat belts. You read that right- seat belts. They come in clutches, totes, shoulder bags, satchels, messengers- you name it! And they all are pretty much made with a pattern of woven seat belts. Check 'em out:
Large Tote Storm, $118
Hipster Mint, $84
Lola Ruffled Satchel Red, $234
According to their website, the Harvey's are a husband and wife team who decided to make a handbag out of seat belts. It garnered such praise that they started a business. Apparently, they've done well. I say "Good for them!" I love the ingenuity of the product. I love the idea of products made in the USA. I even like the overall design of a lot of them. I just don't know if I love the look of them enough to want to own one.
What do all of you think? Please leave a comment and tell me your thoughts on these bags. It's an interesting concept, at the very least, right?

A post just for me? I am so flattered!! I agree with you—it's an interesting and admirable idea, but I don't love the end product. The second bag (the hobo) was the only one I really liked, and even then I was thinking, Wouldn't this be sweet in buttery shades of leather? I've been buying all of my bags (and lately most of my clothes) secondhand, so I think that's a good way to keep fashion a little more eco-friendly.
Thanks for the comment, Beth! I knew you would have the right perspective. :)
