BY RIMA SUQI
Too many bags are erroneously called eco-bags these days. Just because they're reusable doesn't mean they're ecofriendly, sustainable, or organic. So it's refreshing to find something that isn't faking its green cred. This duffel bag is made of seventeen-ounce organic hemp, is vegan, and comes in a lot of other non-duffel styles, like messenger, yoga, and backpacks. The duffel measures 10 by 10 by 23.5 inches—just large enough to hold organic and (we're not judging) other products.
