Eco-friendly Laptop Bags – Going Green Part 2

March 30th, 2008 by Kolobags Stylist

High-tech times often make us yearn for earnest, earthy-friendly objects that stress craft over speed. At last, companies have figured out how to transform discarded plastic (PET) into durable eco fabric. What were once yesterday’s bottles are today’s stunning objects: including Shoreline’s Greensmart laptop sleeves and jackets. Suited for both men and women.

Made from 100% certified post-consumer PET bottles — and ultra lightweight — you get a top quality laptop bag made from one of the world’s most durable fabrics AND you get to save the planet at the same time. Finally, eco-friendly fashion that doesn’t compromise on style or function.

The Shoreline Greensmart laptop jacket is slim enough to be used with another laptop case for extra protection, or extend the handles and use as a stand-alone laptop case. With zippered exterior and port pockets, an adjustable shoulder strap, satiny interior lining, and no need to remove your laptop from the protective sleeve to use it, you can — at long last — have a chic life while still being green.

Available in toasted almond, black, and powder blue and two sizes: smaller size fits 15.4-inch screens and larger size fits 17-inch screens.

Made from the same post-consumer PET bottles, the sleeve offers an extra level of protection for backpacks, purses, or briefcases that were not designed to carry a laptop. An easy pull zipper allows for easy access. And you? Why you look very, very smart.Available in toasted almond, black, and powder blue in two sizes: The smaller size fits 13.3-inch screens and the larger fits 15.4-inch screens.

Green with Envy: Eco-Friendly Computer Bags and Other Cool Cases

Earth day is almost over, but we’re squeezing in our post on eco-friendly laptop bags. What is eco-friendly? It varies by designer, but it can mean made of recycled materials or even using water-soluable dyes for color.

Greensmart by Shoreline is not just riding a trend. They produce sleeves and bags from recycled plastic bottles. For an interesting twist, re-bagz hand weaves their laptop bags, business card cases, and coin holders from recycled rice bags and juice packs. Every bag is unique since it is impossible to duplicate the exact same production from one bag to the next.

When we first found kailo chic’s laptop sleeves and bags we wondered what makes them eco-friendly? Petroleum based dyes can be damaging to the environment, but kailo chic uses water-based dyes to create their fun color schemes.
