Eco Luggage

Although most of us aren't constantly purchasing new luggage, luggage production still requires quite a bit of energy and draining of resources. Thankfully, eco luggage is now hitting the market and we can travel knowing that our luggage hasn't contributed to harming the planet. I've done some investigating to show you the very best of the eco luggage available right now. Check it out!

Mandarina Duck. The name sounds cute and the bags are even cuter. Totally efficient and easy on the eyes, these bags are made from DuPont Sorona; a renewable resource that is partially made from corn.

Hartmann Tweed Collection. There's leather involved, so these bags aren't thoroughly eco-friendly, but the leather is vegetable-tanned, meaning it doesn't contain any chromium.

Ecolution Exploration Bag. Made from water-resistant hemp, these bags are absolutely great. They're attractive and they have tons of pockets, too!

There are tons of other eco luggage lines out there, but these can help get you started so that your next trip out of town doesn't make the environment pay a price.
