Ecoist - I Adore... 'Mil Amore'

You know when I love a piece, I can come up with zillions of reasons to spread the word on it: sometimes those reasons are purely superficial; other times, they're based on sound observations. Reasons to love this new Ecoist satchel?

1. They're made by hand, often by Fair Trade workers in Mexico & Peru. Workers who more than deserve an honest opportunity to earn a living.
2. They're made from recycled, disposed candy and snack wrappers - sweet!
3. 'Mil Amore,' the Spanish nickname of the Centranus garden flower, loosely translates to mean '1000 loves!'
   

And I couldn't resist; after all, we have to admit that Fashion is indeed obsessed with the superficial. So, you want a reason #4? Doesn't it look like a sleek, stylish piece of Origami arm-candy?
