Revere Bag

Why It's Good:

For the city slicker/urban hipster: This sleek, olive-green number runs circles around your tired black nylon messenger bag, with a generous catch-all pocket and cell-phone holder tucked securely under the wide front flap. Comes in wardrobe-versatile colors like black, tan, green, blue, and grey.

Why It's Green:

Entermodal designs with next-generation use in mind: minimalist construction allows for easy disassembly, leaving a flat piece of leather that can be made into something else (repurposing is one of the greenest things you can do!). The leather has been tanned using sustainably harvested, natural vegetable dyes (other hides are tanned using formaldehydes and heavy metals like chromium; the EPA's notorious Superfund list of toxic cleanup sites is riddled with tanneries). In addition, all metal hardware (buckles, rivets, zips, etc.) is made of non-plated, locally sourced recycled aluminum, and the threads and fabrics are organic cotton.
