Welcome to the Fall Into Green Giveaway Hop Grand Prize Post. This fun event is hosted by Happy Mothering and Happy Green Mama through the Green Moms Network. Each participating blog is hosting a green or eco-friendly giveaway worth at least $25. You can find the list of participating blogs at the bottom of this post.

More and more of us are becoming aware of our social responsibility to reduce, reuse and recycle. However, it is also important to make eco-friendly purchasing choices to minimize the negative environmental impact the manufacturing of consumer products have on our environment.

That’s why I’m so excited that Maggie Bags is the Grand Prize Sponsor for the Fall Into Green Giveaway Hop! Maggie Bags believes that the greenest option of all is to create something new from something that is not being used. That’s why they decided to make eco-conscious handbags – that are also fashionable – out of recycled seat belt webbing.

Maggie Bags uses genuine automotive seat belt webbing that is built to meet government safety standards and to protect you for the life of your car. Because seat belts have to adhere to very high standards, millions of yards of seat belt webbing are rejected by automakers every year. Without another use, it would end up as waste in our landfills.

In their dedication to eco-consciousness, Maggie Bags gives this high-quality material new life by creating their sophisticated line of eco-friendly handbags. They use quality components for the rest of the handbags, such as YKK zippers and nickel-plated hardware.

Even their manufacturing process is environmentally friendly. Maggie Bags are assembled at a Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) Certified factory in the Dominican Republic. The handbag construction is a simple cut-and-sew operation. This is important because there isn’t an environmental impact from manufacturing new material and there’s no need for the usual recycling processes that consume large amounts of energy and resources.

And Maggie Bags are cute too! Check out some of these styles:

The Butterfly Bag

Cicily Tote

Campus Tote

Wine Tote

And of course the bag Maggie Bags is giving to 2 Grand Prize Winners!

One winner will receive The Tote of Many Colors in Fall Leaves and the other will win one in Camo!

Special Discount

You can get 25% off at Maggie Bags with code FallGreen now through November 10 on their Premier Line!

Please use the Rafflecopter form below to enter the giveaway. Good luck!

The Cecily Tote is the cutest! I also learned a few things from their site. The material isn’t so much recycled, as it has never been used for anything else, but rather repurposed. Also, even though the product is not made in the USA, it is assembled in a factory that has to meet certain standards of responsibility, which is great. No sweat shops!
