In searching the land for fabulous bags that are easy on the planet, we came across Love Mert and it was love at first sight. The mission of Love Mert is to create accessories that stand apart from the crowd while putting an emphasis on environmental and social responsibility. Each limited edition or one-of-a-kind accessory is a collage of recycled, vintage and found materials that have painstakingly been collected from many a random locale. The clutch bags have a metal spring frame that pops open and stays open for easy access, then snaps shut for a secure closure. The tote is perfect for a shopping jaunt so you can stash your wallet as well as a few finds along the way. Each bag is hand crafted by Melissa, the designer and creator behind this lovely line, and the care she takes with each bag shows.
