SUPERADRIANME.com Benefit – The ladies in Sex and the City 2 seem to be the authority to fashion to many women.
Eco-fashion retailer and makers of the original recycled candy wrapper handbags, Ecoist, seems to be the authority of beautiful eco-creations. Samantha Jones (acted by Kim Cattrall) carried the Ecoist’s Silver Mega in the film, proving that upcycled fashion has reached the top echelon of celebrity style.
Ecoist handbags are handcrafted from upcycled candy wrappers, soda labels, magazines, and other waste-bound materials. Ecoist collects these materials through its partnerships with major brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay, and Mars and creates limited collection and one-of-a-kind handbags. Since 2004, Ecoist has saved more than 15 million candy wrappers from landfill. More than turning waste into most own handbags, Ecoist plants a tree for every handbag sold.
“Just like the stylish women of Sex and the City, Ecoist handbags are trendsetters of eco-fashion, having our handbag chosen only confirms Ecoist’s commitment to creating handbags that are high-style while low-impact,” said Ecoist co-founder Jonathan Marcoschamer. Eye-catching, functional and durable, Ecoist never makes women choose between being in fashion and being environmentally responsible.
Available in three distinct patterns, including Ecoist’s signature Confetti, The Mega is the ultimate handbag for summer. Whether spending time with your favorite gals pals close to home or jetting off to exotic locales, The Mega can handle it all in style.

About Ecoist
In 2009, Ecoist, a family-owned business of Jonathan Marcoschamer, Yair Marcoschamer & Helen Marcoschamer, founded EcoDiseño in Ancon, Peru, employing workers and artisans in an impoverished community who put their skills and love into making the products. Fair and meaningful wages, and not the minimum wages that dominate the industry, are paid to these Ecoist employees. The Marcoschamer family see the value inherent in investing in the lives of their workers and their families, and their communities. To date, Ecoist has improved the lives of almost 40 women artisans.
Ecoist products are 100% Upcycled and waterproof, saving more than 40 million wrappers from landfills.
‘Buy A Bag. Plant A Tree” – Ecoist plants a tree for every handbag sold. In partnership with Trees for the Future, Ecoist has contributed to reforestation efforts around the world. So far, over 100,000 trees have been planted in places such as Haiti, India, and Uganda.
In 2010, Ecoist strengthened their commitment to sustainable retail by partnering with TerraPass to offset the carbon emissions created in shipping their handbags to consumers. By 2011, Ecoist plans to offset 32,000 lbs of carbon, the equivalent of 100,000 driving miles.
