Freddy and Ma's Vote Totes

Why It's Good:

The vibrant colors and the uber-cool retro screenprint design by Freddy & Ma's Sarah Renert puts the "party" into political memorabilia. But remember, if you run into someone carrying one with an opposing candidate, mind your manners: It's still an eco-friendly fashionable bag.

Why It's Green:

The bags are made out of organic cotton raised without toxic chemicals using fair-trade practices (i.e., fair pricing so that producers and workers can make a living). They're also made with the intent that you will forsake your Pathmark or Whole Foods plastic bag and pack your loot in your vote tote at the check out.

Stump in Style! Vote for These Totes

Truth be told, I'm not big on proclaiming my candidate. My Jetta's bumper is stickerless and my lawn (if I had one) would not be sporting party affiliation signs. It's like labels: My mother never bought me clothes with flashy logos; she didn't feel we needed to be promoter-type folk. And I've approached my politics in a similar, semi-quiet fashion—until now. Yup, I am about to "out" my candidate, and take 'er (c'mon, you know who, no scandals!) to the streets with my Freddy & Ma Vote Tote. With Super Tuesday just a few weeks away, I am hoping that my candidate will dominate and allow me to carry my tote with extra relevance all the way through November. If my candidate loses and the other equally historic candidate wins (or if our great nation's other party wins—it can happen, people), I'll still carry it. It's too darling not to.—Allison Reynolds
