| Are Ecoist handbags durable even though they are made from recycled candy wrappers ? |
| Absolutely ! These purses are strong, sturdy, and designed for every day use. Money-back guarantee. We use several layers of candy wrappers to make the bags really sturdy. Once you see it in person and actually feel it, you’ll be absolutely shocked at how durable these bags are. |
| Where do you get all the candy wrappers from ? |
|
Our Candy Wrapper handbags are made from recycled candy wrappers, food packages, and soft drink labels discarded by manufacturers due to misprints or discontinued candy lines. These excess materials often end up as waste in landfills and may never biodegrade. Ecoist picks up these materials from factories and turns them into one-of-a-kind handbags. We are now partnering with food packaging manufacturers and candy companies to find creative ways to use their wasted materials.
