Here’s a cool, new carry-all for the clothing obsessed…anyone?

It’s the summer of one billion weddings in my life, and in addition to multiple trips for gift shopping and bridesmaid dress sizing, it means multiple trips to the dry cleaners. And whether I’m headed to the cleaners or the tailor, I’m always dragging a dress with me, the kind of dress that is pricey, but pretty, in a if-one-single-rain-drop-comes-near-this-silk-I-will-scream kind of way. The kind of item that needs to be protected. Fortunately, there’s a new garment bag to the market that does just that, without the eco impact of those delicate disposable bags. (According to government stats, every year more than 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags end up in the dump, potentially causing harm to critters.)

The Green Garmento just may be the solution. The reusable garment bag, made of recycled materials, serves double duty as a hanging hamper, laundry bag and even a duffel bag with shoulder strap. And starting at ten bucks, it’s a pretty good deal in my opinion, and dare I say priceless for the business traveler. You can grab one in black, blue or green. Stash it in your closet, or keep one in the backseat for quick cleaner drop offs and pick ups. (And if your dry cleaner doesn’t offer anything like it, you just might want to drop a subtle hint…)

Note to Green Garmento — Thanks for supplying a sample.  Obviously, it came in the nick of time!
