Eco friendly bag review: Haiku To-Go Bags
How I discovered Haiku To-Go Bags
A love affair at first sight!

My wife and I were searching for Earth shoes the other day and we came across a website called PlanetShoes.com, well I made the mistake of saying "hey look they have bags too" no sooner had the words passed my lips than I found myself pushed out of the chair and onto the floor - my bruised butt shouting out in protest.
I have to admit tho that Haiku To-Go bags caught my attention as well as hers. We are both artists and let me say these eye catching bags certainly have style!
Eco-Friendly vs Earth-Friendly
The battle of the buzz words
Hey most esteemed visitors I am a curious sort and I just thought I'd flip out this fun curious curiosity poll. Which term do you use or prefer when describing products that are good for the environment?
Haiku To-Go Calligraphy Tote
An eco-friendly bag with a delicious suede feel

Click picture to buy: and for detailed zoom-in viewing
This Haiku To-Go tote is one of the first to catch my eye at Planet Shoes. That gorgeous faux-leather pebbled suede is so soft you'd swear there is nothing faux about it. And Haiku's signature handmade stitching gives this tote that artistic "made just for you" feel that is a big winner in my book. I just love the detail in those blue flowers! If you want a tote that is both functionally fantastic and artistically amorous the Haiku To-Go "Calligraphy" Bag is just for you.

Why are Haiku Bags Eco-Friendly?
About Sharon Eisenhauer, designer and owner of Haiku Bags
Haiku bags are the creative baby of Sharon Eisenhauer, who is the designer and owner of Haiku Bags. The inspiration for Haiku bags came during a trip to Tokyo during the adoption process for her daughter.
Sharon implemented the Karma Neutral collection of Haiku bags which use sustainable fabrics. The company also buys carbon credits to offset their foot print on the planet.
On top of that Planet Shoes, which sell these Haiku bags support sustainability and a healthy lifestyle in the products they carry by offering a CarbonFree Plus shipping alternative and have partnered with several of their brands to donate 1% for the planet through an organization aptly called 1% for the Planet.
In my humble opinion those are the kinds of companies I am proud to buy from!
