Fleabags are ideal Fleamarket totes. Friends and family have used them for weekends away, trips to the beach, jaunts to the grocery store and to carry anything numerous or unwieldy. They are sturdy and made of eco-friendly materials. Organic cotton/hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned, american and Italian leather water-based Ink, locally made in New York by hand in Limited Edition.

Shira Entis, a fashion designer and lover of all things tiny and over-sized, and Alex Bell, a lawyer and seeker of adventures, have been fleamarket addicts since they met ten years ago at Brown University. Frustrated by the inconvenience and environmental hazard of accumulating several plastic bags while marketing, they craved a convenient and fashion-hot tote that could fit all of their wares. Fleabags are designed as their ideal solution dapper, large, lightweight and sturdy carry-alls that are also eco-minded. Thus the brand Fleabags began in 2009 while both still worked their day jobs in New York City.

THEY ARE ECO FRIENDLY

An important part of the Fleabags venture was to create a bag that was as Green as possible while maintaining high quality and covetable design. Thus much research was put into the types of canvas, leather and parts available in the United States that would fit their eco-friendly standards. Fleabags are wholly sourced in the US and made in New York of certified organic cotton / hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and water-based silkscreen ink. Fleabags use no glues or toxic paints, just good old fashion sewing.
