Hip and Zen has introduced these new laptop bags made of recycled or "renewed" plastic. The renewing process uses a fraction of the energy of recycling — layers of plastic bags of various colors are placed on top of each other and fused together. The lining is made of canvas, and the trim of cargo tape. No dyes are used. These bags are handmade by cooperatives in India, and fairly traded. Due to the handmade and recycled nature of the bags, each bag will vary slightly in color and pattern. They are priced at $37.50. :: Hip and Zen
