It seems that in the current economic market, the must have Dolce & Gabbana or Chanel bags have been replaced by more affordable, eco-chic reusable bags like Envirosax.

And with the likes of Cynthia Nixon using Envirosax, the reusable bag trend looks set to continue.

Envirosax was the official gift bag for the New York American Museum of Natural History’s 2008 Gala, where a number of the Saturday Night Live cast were showing their support. Also in attendance was former cast mate Jimmy Fallon.

Raising over 3.3 million, the fundraiser for the museum’s scientific and educational programs was a great success, and we are proud to have been able to support one of the country’s greatest institutions.

Self anointed Green Living Goddess – Antoinette Nue appeared on TV show Focus Atlanta recently and demonstrated how using an Envirosax bag is one of the quickest and easiest ways to “start going green” without losing your fashion edge.

Presenter Keisha Williams explained that most consumers find the whole ‘going green’ concept a little overwhelming and often don’t know where to start, leaving it in the ‘too hard basket.’

Antoinette offers practical tips to get started, suggesting that the best place to begin is with something in which you are interested or passionate about, as you are more likely to continue.  So whether that is recycling or only buying clothes made out of organic fibres, every little action will have a positive impact on the environment.

Shopping is one of Antoinette’s favourite pass times and “carrying your own reusable shopping bags is one of the most important things you can do to help the environment” she says, “landfill is full of plastic that won’t biodegrade for 1,000 years.”

So while there are many reusable shopping bag options around, to ‘go green without sacrificing your bling’, Antoinette chooses Envirosax bags for their convenience and stylish range of designs. Going green has never been so easy, fun and fashionable.

Also cool is the fact that all proceeds from the event went to the charity Art of Elysium, an organization that encourages celebrities to volunteer their time  and talents to children battling serious medical illnesses.

GBK Productions, one of the companies producing this event ordered their own custom Envirosax for the A-Listers like Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford, and used our Monochromatic 4 bag for all other important guests.

Despite the reclusive nature of many celebs, we nabbed some great shots of David Arquette with the new Botanica 3 bag, and of Kelly Slater with GBK’s custom Envirosax. Have a look!

The response to our bags and shower timers was fantastic! We met and got pictures with some great celebs including Phylicia Rashad, Joey Lawrence, Neil Patrick Harris, Kevin Sorbo, Sean Patrick Thomas, Shar Jackson, Vern “Mini-Me” Troyer, and Jean Smart.

We also got some shots with Joey Fatone of ‘N Sync, Greg Finley of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Jo De La Rosa & Slade Smiley of Date My Ex: Jo & Slade, Julie Benz; of the TV show Dexter, and many more.

Kevin Sorbo raved, “This is going to make my wife so happy!” When given a Piggy in the Middle bag for his daughter he said, “She’s going to go crazy over this!”

What writer and actress Jackie Collins thought: “This is fantastic!”

When presented his Envirosax, Joey Lawrence said, “This is perfect, we’re always going to Trader Joe’s. Honey look!”
