Are you looking for a great new bag to go with your spring wardrobe? Then you might want to check out the Billboard Bag Collection by Yak Pak. Yak Pak has partnered with Terracycle to produce one-of-a-kind bags out of old billboard vinyl – material that is not biodegradable and would otherwise spend an eternity in a landfill.
One thing I love about this tote, other than the fact that it is composed of recycled materials, is that it can fit all of my things – notebooks, binder, laptop, lunch box – everything! I’ve never had a bag that could do that before.
But I wasn’t completely infatuated. The bag feels like it is constructed from a tarp-like material, which is great for protecting my books from the rain, but it’s not so awesome in terms of durability. Within the first day of using this bag, my pencil had poked a hole through the side!
I’m also not positive the bag is quite my style. Every tote has a unique pattern since they are all made of different cut of billboard. Truly, no two bags are the same. It just so happened that the pattern of my bag wasn’t my favorite, but with tons of pattern and style options – the collection also includes messenger bags, laptop sleeves and many other products in addition to totes – you’re sure to find something that fits your needs as well as your wardrobe.
Most pieces in the Billboard Bag Collection retail for less than $35 and can be found at retailers like Best Buy and Urban Outfitters.
