Our Oaxacan totes are more than just a handbag - they are a piece of art that embodies the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican artisans who weave them. Handwoven from 100% recycled plastic, these totes are not only environmentally friendly, but also incredibly durable and virtually indestructible. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors used in the weaving process are a reflection of the unique perspective and creativity of the artisans, who use the loom as a tool to express their view of the world.

What makes our Oaxacan totes truly special, however, is the story behind them. Each bag is handcrafted by prisoners in the local jails of Oaxaca, who earn a fair wage for their work and use their craft to support their families. By purchasing one of our totes, you are not only acquiring a functional and stylish accessory, but also supporting a social cause and promoting the value of sustainable and ethical fashion. And with its tight weave, our tote is not only waterproof, but also perfect for carrying heavy items without compromising its shape or durability. Get yours today and experience the beauty and quality of Mexican craftsmanship!

Plastics like PET most likely touch your everyday life. Polyethylene Terephthalate, known commonly as PET or PETE is best known as the clear plastic used for water and soda bottle containers. As a raw material, PET is globally recognized as a safe, non-toxic, strong, lightweight, flexible material that is 100% recyclable. In fact, it’s THE most widely recycle   Plastic   in the world! (let’s keep that trend going!). PET can be identified by looking at the bottom or backs of containers for the #1 resin identification code – a symbol recognized by the #1 in the middle surrounded by “chasing arrows”.

Virgin PET, including recycle  PET , can be used for plastic water and soda bottles, food packaging for cakes, cut fruit and salads and as retail blister and clamshell packaging for cosmetics, razors and toys. It can also be found in containers for peanut butter, shampoo and salad dressings and for carpeting, clothing, sleeping bags and much, much more. PET is so prevalent that it’s important, when and where possible, to recycle it for reuse.
