Ethical and Sustainable Bags for Fall
As the weather turns and my mind moves from tank tops and sandals to structured blazers and boots, I start putting away the straw totes of summer and start pulling out the bags that go with all of my favorite fall styles. This year I noticed that the everyday bag that has served me so well for the last few years has started looking pretty worn, so I went looking for some options for an updated replacement from ethical and sustainable brands. Check out some great options I found below!
