Recycled Newspaper = Eco-Friendly Handbags

Recycled paper bags that are nothing like paper bags!

Eco-friendly tote bags and eco-friendlly handbags made from recycled newspaper.
A print, laminate, newspaper, some stitching, and then a FLASHBAG!

Flashbags are handmade tote bags and accessories made out of recycled newspaper

Every one of our unique eco-friendly handbags begins with premium color copies on regular paper. We laminate the images and then reinforce them with multiple sheets of recycled newspaper. Each panel of these sustainable handbags consists of 12 layers of new and recycled paper to ensure strength and durability.

Our eco-friendly tote bags and accessories have images on every panel—inside and out. We custom embroider each custom handbag with colorful swoops and swirls that compliment the composition of each image. Our sustainable tote bags, eco-friendly handbags and accessories represent true eco fashion.
