Model T tote - recycled rubber

Yes, these cutting-edge bags are actually made of recycled tires - real retreads, rescued form the tires of trucks and tractors from a landfill. So if you're a conscientious consumer, then these purses are an absolute must - the ne plus ultra of recycled goods. The "Mini" (right) is accented with Army Green twill tape handles, decorative cutouts, and metal grommets, while the larger "Model T" (left) comes with actual seat belts for handles and three outer snaps for added security. The "Model T" also features an inside security pocket. Buy two, because everybody needs to have a spare tire! Made in Colorado. Designed by Heather English. Price $ 99 - Uncommon goods.
