Teich Bags

The reusable tote carries your groceries; organic cotton tops span the length of your closet.

Maybe that wallet you’ve been working out could use a new ecohome of its own.

Like, say, a handbag by Teich. The limited-edition line by NYC-based Allison Teich may well justify your ecofriendly spending habits.

Made from repurposed materials, like locally produced hardware, vintage skins, vegetable-tanned leathers, hemp, and linen, the bags range from a carry-it-all weekender to a pretty scallop clutch. We adore the market satchel for its tidy stripes and ever-dependable single strap.

Sure, it’s one more dip into the trusty cash reserves.

But this time, your wallet will thank you for it.
