Tote Bag from Recycled Tarps
Taressa George
The Olinda (oh-LEEN-da) Tote Bag features an outside flap, pouch and pocket. Sporty enough for the beach, smart enough for the bookstore, and hip enough for the café! Oh, and you can use it as a diaper bag, too! The main compartment features a zippered pocket and handy magnetic-button closing.
Don't forget that no two are alike. Although the overall look is the same, please keep in mind that the patches and colors do vary.
Approximate Dimensions: 14" high × 13" wide × 4" deep
The Real Deal is a line of tarp bags are handmade in a remote small town in rural Brazil, from recycled canvas tarps that once stretched across the beds of cross-country cargo trucks hauling open freight. They use recycled tarps in a effort to cut down on the wasting of the world's resources and -- yes -- also because they happen to look really cool. The fabric in these bags has most likely traveled from the Amazon out to Sao Paulo and back again. It has slogged through sudden deluges of blinding rain, and has been baked and broiled in scalding heat, whipped by harsh salt winds, assaulted by road debris and sometimes even stamped in Portuguese with waterproof black ink. Which is to say, there's nothing you can do to these one-of-a-kind bags that hasn't already been done. So don't worry about taking care of a Real Deal Brazil bag -- it will take care of you!
