Its-las-tik is a company based in New Orleans that creates reusable, stretchable, adorable totes for those of us trying to live a green lifestyle. All of the manufacturing, design, materials, and brains come straight from New Orleans, which isn’t an easy feat considering the factory was rebuilt after being demolished by Katrina. The great thing about these bags - beyond the fact that you can carry a statement tote to the store or gym, rather than a bunch of heavily advertised eco bags sliding off your shoulder - is that 5% of the profits go to Hope House New Orleans, a non profit organization that helps to feed and clothe New Orleanians. Be a softy and buy, buy, buy - they’re only $25 each!
