It’s common knowledge these days that the Earth is precious and we must do everything we can to keep it healthy. Centuries of environmental damage can’t be undone overnight, but there are things that we can do every day to help.

Recycling is one of those things, which can be done even in the fashion industry. The wealth of eco bags using recycled material is a testament to that, though not enough brands are catching on.

At Vogatha, a recent brand supporting a line of gorgeous canvas tote bags, we firmly believe that we can do our part to help the planet, which is why we also offer an eco-canvas bag, made of 100% recycled material. Even our main line of canvas totes are made of extra industrial grade canvas, which means that extra material isn’t being made especially for the products.

Our eco bags are fashionable and include all the functionality of our other tote bags. Slim and streamlined, they are the perfect shopping bag. The shoulder straps are plenty long enough to loop over your shoulder, which makes it easy and comfortable to carry the load.

Tote bags are enormously useful in many ways, from shopping bags to light, breezy purses, like messenger bags or similar. They are usually more suited for lighter loads, but Vogatha bags are remarkably durable, including the eco bags. They are also the perfect vacation bag, big enough to hold a book or two and your clothes for a day at the beach or pool.

In addition to eco bags, Vogatha also has a full line of canvas shoulder and tote bags. With a simple, yet beautiful design, these totes come in a variety of sizes and colors to suit your individual needs. As mentioned above, the material is sourced from the same place as industrial laundry carts, trucks, and even straitjackets, and not specially designed or ordered. In that way, Vogatha reduces its impact on the environment, and the canvas totes are environmentally sound.

If you’ve ever owned a tote bag, you’ll understand me when I tout its incredible usefulness. Better than a purse and lighter than a backpack, it is the perfect solution for every time I need a bag bigger than my small purse but smaller than a backpack or messenger bag – and trust me, that happens a lot.

Vogatha eco bags are all of this, but even more exciting for their eco-friendly material. Maybe you think it doesn’t make a difference, but really, at this point, everything makes a difference. Every decision we make, every single time we choose eco-friendly, it makes a difference. So do yourself – and your planet – a favor – and choose eco bags.
