Beth Springer - an ecovertible on the scene

altCon would like to extend a warm welcome to today’s Guest Blogger, Grechen, of Grechen’s Closet where you can follow the fashion times of a devoted eco gal.

The Ecovertible is totally convertible from a shoulder to a messenger bag and is the perfect size for essentials. It is made from suede and reclaimed leather “bits,” and lined in organic hemp linen. And it’s handmade in the USA. The thing that impresses me the most about this bag is how light it is; I almost forget I have it on! Note: the longer strap is not adjustable, but both straps are removable.

I truly love this bag, and feel great about my small step in an more earth-friendly direction. I am definitely on a “green journey” together with Beth Springer, who is constantly progressing her designs and materials to be even more eco-chic: using vegetable-dyed leather, hemp linen linings, and producing her bags 100% sweatshop-free in the US.

Hers is the type of company I’m excited to support, Beth Springer is an independent designer, hardworking female entrepreneur, and committed to doing better every day. Although bigger companies like Banana Republic, Target, Levi’s and more are jumping on the “green” bandwagon, smaller companies and designers are where the heart of the green movement is; they have been the engine of growth up until now, let’s not leave them behind.
