bottles = cool bags?

okay, so i don't want to write a lot about this cool new company cuz i definitely want to write about it for a real media outlet at some point & well, you know the rules...

anyway, got bottles? i have to confess, i do. with a household of little rascals, plastic bottles of all kinds pile up in our garage's makeshift recycling center & then my hub takes them to the dump where again, they pile up. & they're are not biodegradable, bummer. WELL, guess what... those very same bottles can be turned into friggin' very stylish eco-friendly bags!

3 chicks with so much combined brainpower it's scary, are the masterminds behind their new company - wavyo [way-vy-o] - get it right & don't forget it cuz it's gonna be big. they have designed bags made out of composted plastic - recycled soda, water etc. bottles. the fabric feels like sturdy canvas. the girlies have designed versatile bag styles - big ones that can be used for grocery shopping & smaller ones that are oh so cute.

on top of all the "go green", "eco-friendly" awesome stuff, the trio have added a fun twist on their creations. they will sell only 100 of each signed-by-the-artist (kim, tina or lucie), numbered bag & then offer new limited-edition styles.

i bought the Pasteur Nafnaf grocery bag & plan to buy more as new styles are concocted by the fabulous artistes. this doesn't mean you can let the guilt go about bottles just cuz you now know they can be turned into fashionable items. go easy on the bottles my friends. & the wavyo BFF's are doing their part & say that you'll be helping to change the world by carrying one of their bags!

oh shit, i wrote a lot. wtf? oh well, i'll delete this post if i can get my raving wavyo review in a mag sometime soon. in the meantime, go buy a wavyo bag now, cuz i said so.
