These super cute clutches, satchels, totes, and messenger bags are made from all natural materials. The main component of Alison McGowan's 2009 Teich collection is deerskin that has been treated by an advanced tannery using all organic chemicals to dye the skin into this adorable shade of yellow, as well as, a variety of shades that are sure to catch your eye.
I know what some of you animal lovers are thinking, how can deerskin be eco-friendly? As opposed to factory-raised deer, the skin used for these bags comes from hunting waste, which otherwise would have been tossed. McGowan has a true passion for our planet, and wanted to create this line for all green goers and doers alike. Her line fits in with the current ever-evolving trend of keeping our environment safe and beautiful. In addition to the skin, she also uses organic cotton, hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned leather, and linen as materials for her collection.
The best part, is that these bags are made right in our backyard-- Brooklyn of course. I don't think it gets better than a made in New York, organic, super cute handbag. Pick one up at Teich in the East Village at 84 East 7th Street or online at Teichdesign.com
