Ocean Bag from Ecogear
Ever wonder where all those plastic water bottles go once they are picked up from your curbside recycling bin? Pick up an Ocean bag from Ecogear’s Earth Series and you will be holding in your hands a perfect example of what can be achieved through recycling. Discarded plastic bottles are transformed into water resistant fabric and then the fabric is used to construct a functional and stylish bag.
My daughter Savannah lives and works in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, an eco-friendly city known for being a pedestrian’s haven. With its historic downtown walking mall, conveniently located coffee houses, restaurants and gyms, and famous Friday’s After Five, we thought this would be the perfect place to try out the Ocean bag from Ecogear’s Earth Series.
For Savannah, style is one of her first considerations when on the lookout for a new purse, bag or accessory. The Ocean bag from the Earth Series is as stylish as it is functional. Available in two trendy shades of charcoal and pink, Ocean is a streamlined design that is both modern and chic. Says Savannah, “I love the way it looks and feels, it compliments my workout gear, and the fact that it is made out recycled plastic makes me feel like I’m giving something back.”
“I also like that I don’t have to sacrifice functionality for style. A convenient clip on the interior of the front pocket holds my keys so no more sifting through the bottom of my bag to find them when I need them. An organizer pocket has handy slots for all my loose items like my gym pass, a pen, and loose change. One of the pockets is even lined with a soft fabric to protect my iPod screen. The large interior pocket has three compartments roomy enough to hold my workout shoes, yoga pants, and a t-shirt. A zippered mesh pocket holds toiletries or valuables. There are even two zippered side pockets with interior mesh perfect for stashing a water bottle.”
Measuring just 14” x 12” x 7.5”, Savannah likes that the Ocean is small enough to fit inside the tiny lockers at the gym but large enough to hold everything she needs for yoga class. The mesh pocket on the shoulder strap is a convenient place to hold her cell phone or iPod when walking from the gym to the downtown mall for a quick cup of coffee or an outdoor concert. As an added benefit, the Ocean is a comfy fit with ergonomic mesh padded back and shoulders for support and comfort.
On sale now at Ecogear for just $39.99, Ocean is a bargain for a functional and stylish product and smart buy for the environment.

How brilliant it is that discarded plastic bottles are being transformed into well-fashioned bags. It is perfect that they make products and also help the environment.
That looks like a great bag. I’ll have to get one and try it out.
The Earth bag really is a “feel good” product! Glad you like it too!

Guys, have you seen the Yogoco Yoga bag? It is made from t-shirt scraps and looks amazing! I bought the Nirvana Black, but they have so many designs. The other reason i love it is that it has room for my Yoga towel and a water bottle. Very cool!! http://yogoco.com
