How to become an Eco Celebrity

By Lona who strutted down the catwalks in New York.....

Once upon a time there was a discarded lorry canvas that was saved from an

overflowing landfill site by a clever Brazilian designer who saw the potential

of this robust material.

The designer took it home, washed it, dried it and carefully cut undamaged sections

from the canvas. Soon a beautifully styled handbag emerged, complemented by

carefully selected leather straps, secret pockets with delicate lining and

sporting a secure zip.

And so the Lona lorry canvas handbag was born.......

100% eco friendly, sustainable, handmade, fair trade -

for a clear conscience, showing your commitment to recycling.

A signature fashion item for autumn/winter 07.

Then there was the drinking can that became a desirable fashion bag,

but that is a fairy tale that I shall recount another time........
