Whatever Floats Your Tote

Accomplice’s Handbag Recycling Program

Hold on there a second, pot. Is that you calling the kettle black?

Because calling someone out for not doing a good deed requires that, oh, you’ve performed a charitable act. And giving your dog half of your cheeseburger doesn’t count.

When you’re ready to become a good Samaritan, try Accomplice’s handbag recycling program. Here’s how it works: Bring in a gently used bag this Saturday or Sunday and get a 20 percent discount on any of the store’s fall merch (like shoes by Cindy Says Couture, BCBGirls, and Jessica Simpson).

Your donation goes to Attitudes & Attire, a local nonprofit organization that helps women in need find success in the workplace — which means your good deed is done.

And you can pass judgment on the less philanthropic without ever having to worry about being compared to a kitchen utensil.

See? Now you’re cooking.

Accomplice, 3699 McKinney Avenue, suite 501, in the West Village (214-520-8535).
