Henry Cuir Ecological Tote

| 5 Comments

This is the best eco-fab tote I have seen! Henry Cuir's leather tote (tanned without harmful chemicals) has a small etched design and French message "I am the earth. I love myself and I respect myself." So it won't please animal activists but environmentalists should be happy to see that designers are attempting to make an effort at reducing harmful chemicals in the environment. Eco-fab or not though, this is a great tote. No fuss and structurally clean, it is a huge tote best used as a shopper, travel or work bag. And how cute is that leather button closure?

With the holiday shopping madness fast approaching, do yourself a favor and grab a tote you can feel good about! Imagine all the shopping bags you can refuse and all the goodies you can stuff in it! At Barneys New York.

  • i love natural cowhide. it ages beautifully.

  • From the photograph I can just feel it under my arm now. It is a handsome tote that will be ultrasoft.

  • This is beautiful but I'm wondering if the button will be hard to open/close the bag?

  • Its ok not the most beautiful . Hermes and a few others have nicer ones.
    First you guys said you would use your old prada nylons . Now you say you LOVE this? Make up your minds!

  • Maybe its just me...but my first thought on seeing this bag was "ewww." I think there is a reason leather is dyed so that it doesn't look like tattooed skin!

    I love leather as much as the next girl, but I wonder whether this bag isn't in fact the product of an animal rights activist who doesn't want us to hide from the reality of leather by dying it pretty colors.

    Nope, not for me. But I'll take that purple ostrich Mulberry in the side advertisement any day!
