The New York International Gift Fair, August 16 – 21, 2008 – Half the Sky Designs
Half the Sky Designs will introduce their newest collection of Rebagz™ in booth #122 at the Summer 2008 New York International Gift Fair®.
Stylish and eco-friendly
Rebagz™ by Half the Sky Designs are stylish, eco-friendly handbags made from recycled juice packs and recycled nylon rice sacks. The woven line is made from recycled juice packs that are cut into strips and woven together to create vivid styles for almost any occasion. Bags in the nylon rice bag line bear the original colorful and creative designs the rice companies imprint on their sacks to make them stand out from all the competitors. Styles include totes, shoulder bags, clutches, cosmetic bags, laptop bags, messenger bags and more.
America Ferrera liked her Rebagz™ Large Tie Tote so much that she has worn it on ABC’s “Ugly Betty” several times. Christina Aguilera recently purchased Rebagz™ Carry Anything Anywhere bag at the chic Lifesize by Ron Robinson at Fred Segal (Santa Monica, Calif.). Other celebrities who own Rebagz™ include Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Heidi Klum, Serena Williams and many more.
Rebagz™ are featured in the permanent showroom of Clothing the Boom, Suite A603 at the California Market Center and are now sold in over 200 stores throughout the U.S., Canada, Central America and Europe.
The next evolution in style
Creating stylish bags that help people see the beauty of recycling is just the first step for Half the Sky Designs. Getting people to recycle and reflexively re-purpose items is part of their goal. The company believes that is truly “the next evolution in style.”
Half the Sky Designs is committed to working only with people who are paid fairly and treated well. The company is proud to be contributing to the financial strength of the women they employ in the US, and the Philippines, along with their families and their communities. Half the Sky Designs honors the many women who are part of it by referencing the adage, “Women hold up half the sky.”
