Yellow Chicken Handbag Made from Up-Cycled Materials
Chickens, deer, dogs, cats and cattle all need to eat and what’s a rancher to do with all those used feed bags? Rancho Ojo de Agua found the best solution I’ve seen yet. Reclaimed feed sacks from the ranch are rescued from certain landfill death and made into sexy little bags just for you. The durable straps are scraps from a nearby seatbelt manufacturer. For once you can feel good about increasing your handbag collection!
This handbag is versatile, eco-friendly, and waterproof, incorporating traditional purse styling and size with great features such as handy pockets, interior lining, seatbealt strap, and water-resistant material.
Approximately 12″ W (at base) x 8″ H x 3.5″ D, with 11″ zipper across the top. Sturdy seatbelt strap 31.5” Also includes two interior pockets.
The folks at Rancho Ojo de Agua feed their cattle, horses, dogs, and deer throughout the year and they hated throwing away so many feedsacks. To avoid creating so much waste they thought of a great way to recycle the feedsacks by turning them into an exclusive line of functional, eco-friendly, cool Bolsas! The handles are made from durable scrap fabric from a local seatbelt maquiladora (factory).
The Ranch uses only local labor in Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico and they take pride in helping to provide jobs in their community.
For every Bolsa you buy, that’s one (or two) fewer feedsack(s) that go into a landfill or get burned. So go ahead and feel good about it – and buy lots of them! You’re helping to save the planet one bag at a time.
