I’ve been called a bag lady before, and not because I’m a cranky cow sometimes, but because I have a house full of bags – hand bags, tote bags, string bags, shoulder bags and green bags. Like any other eco-conscious citizen, I bring my own bags shopping, but sometimes I really wish they weren’t so darn fugly.

Enter the Envirosax designer reusable bag, available in several convenient sizes and gorgeous print styles named with nature inspired titles like Bloom, Nomad, Botanica and Midnight Safari. Very Cohabitaire indeed.

So reusable bags are no new phenomena, but do you know any that have been converted to couture? Unveiled at the Sundance Film Festival, the Envirosax dress was created by Australian Design graduate, Amit Ayalon…

Made out of Envirosax original prints, the patterns selected range from floral prints to Japanese and Bohemian designs. The motif consists of a jacket, Victorian corset, back scroll piece, bustle and skirt.

“The warm brown, gold and red colors dominating the prints remind me of the Moulin Rouge fashion,” said Ayalon. “Other sources of inspiration came from movies such as Alice and Wonderland and Sherlock Holmes.” – Envirosax.com

Very special. So special in fact, that Envirosax have been seen splashed around tinseltown, see below…..

Envirosax good enough for Queen Latifah, Jessica Alba & JT
