Size-wise, it’s the ideal accessory for storing separate products, from chargers and tech accessories to beauty products and miniature first-aid necessities. At the intersection of sustainability and style, Rothy’s has earned an impressive reputation based entirely on comfortable, machine-washable, ethically-made footwear. Flats, to be exact, although their slip-on sneakers and loafers are pretty damn good as well. The Rothy’s flat is a solidified staple in the wardrobe of the stylish, practical woman, soRothy’s sustainable bag collection is more or less guaranteed to be a big hit. The laptop portfolio is the only accessory I didn’t have a chance to get my hands on.
But after exploring all the other designs offered by Rothy’s, I have to say I’m sad about it. If you ask me, this bag looks like it might be in line to be a best seller from the collection. Lightweight and stylish, this laptop bag is the kind of daily commute addition that isn’t as intimate as a card case or wallet but isn’t as much of a wardrobe commitment as the carryall tote would be. It has a padded top handle, so it never cuts into my shoulder, as well as a detachable, adjustable strap, so I can choose how to carry it.
The result is five practical, structured silhouettes crafted from a blend of recycled materials. Prices for the designs range from $95 for The Essential Pouch to $350 for The Handbag, with shades like “light lime” and “sage green” to add a pop of spring-flavored color to your wardrobe. We have found the best handbags for moms, and our top pick is the Rothy’s Handbag. This bag is made from recycled materials yet remains to be one of the most stylish and durable handbags today.
Like all of Rothy’s products, the bag is machine washable and will be back to looking almost brand-new after a visit to the wash cycle. I especially like utilizing Rothy’s The Wristlet inside The Lightweight Tote to hold other items like my wallet, cell phone, and other goods I need to access quickly. It brings more organized chaos to the madness that my handbags tend to create. But no matter what your style is—messy or maintained—you’ll benefit from carrying The Lightweight Tote. Whether you’re the tote-carrying type or more of a top-handle kind of gal, any style you choose is made from plastic collected within 30 miles of coastline and marine environments. So go ahead and let that purse hang proudly from your elbow nook, because somewhere out there a fish swims free thanks to Rothy’s innovative design process.
And many of the handbags have the Rothy’s brand signature stripe, so you can match your new purse to your shoes if you are so inclined. These sandals are made with Rothy’s signature thread spun from plastic water bottles and the soft footbed is made with plant-based materials. The long ankle straps can be tied however you’d like to style them. They’d go great with your go-to denim jeans and flowy white shirt, your favorite sundress and everything in between. Like all Rothy’s products, these new eco-friendly items are 100% crafted from discarded plastic water bottles and marine plastic. And in case you come across spills, loose lipsticks, or unruly snacks that break loose from packaging, not to worry.
Even with a laptop and other items inside, the bag felt pretty comfortable and durable – I’m curious how this will hold up over time, but I didn’t see any obvious stress points to be concerned about. The San Francisco-based label today debuted its first range of bags, which use fully recycled materials. The bags, knit to a given shape in order to limit waste, are designed to be machine washable and long-lasting.
The Handbag is the collection’s most structured silhouette, available in four color options. Love the removable shoulder strap on this one—Rothy’s really knows how to strike that perfect comfort/style balance. This brand has done so much in the past few months; it makes us look bad while simultaneously making us look better than ever. We love it when the fashion world spoils us with a fancy product launch.
Soon, it built its own factory, which has to date, repurposed millions of plastic water bottles and over 100 tons of ocean-bound marine plastic. When it comes to practical, effortless style, there’s no royal family member we trust more than Meghan Markle. In case you haven’t heard, one of her favorite pairs of flats are from Rothy’s, which is a sustainable, direct-to-consumer brand that offers machine-washable shoes. And now, they just introduced an equally eco-friendly and chic handbag and accessory line to meet all your carrying needs. The handbags and small pouches come in an identical color palette as Rothy’s shoes.
