One of my favorite TV show is Ugly Betty and I noticed Betty has a favorite bag that she brings along almost everywhere! It is a multi-colored straw tote bag similar to the straw bags (bayong) in the Philippines.

I found out that this multi-colored bag is made by Rebagz. It is constructed of recycled nylon and plastic from fruit juice packs (zesto?) and rice bags. I am right to recognize it as something that might come from back home as the company deals with NGOs/non-profit groups in the Philippines. Rebagz work with NGOs to pay its workers fair wages and source only recycled materials.

America Ferrera received this multi-colored tie tote as part of a loot bag from Entertainment Weekly’s Emmy Awards party and she used it in many of her shoots in Ugly Betty.

Other celebs with Rebagz bag are Halle Berry, Sheryl Crow, Gwen Stefani and many more! You might not like this interwoven style, but let me assure you it has other design than basket weave. They have cellphone pouches, coin purses, bags with flower prints, animal prints….for sure you will fall in love with at least one design!

As for me, I particulary like this limited edition Panda bag because I love pandas and collect panda stuff toys.

Rebagz Limited Edition Panda Tie Tote, Price: $135.

Rebagz Limited Edition Panda Messenger Bag, Price: $86.

I guess Rebagz is so popular and successful even to the stars due to the product being fashionable, clean, safe and a very important plus, it helps preserve and protect our planet!

* Plugging: Going back to Ugly Betty, Thurs is the season finale with Lindsay Lohan appearing as Betty’s “Mean Girl” from high school; La Lohan will also appear in 5 more episodes in Fall. It would be very interesting to watch!
