Reusable Shopping Bags

Eco friendly reusable grocery bags have seen their popularity surge in the past few years. They have a dramatically reduced environmental impact. So far this year over 370 billion disposable paper and plastic bags have been wasted and are piling up in landfills. Many countries across the globe are passing laws to tax or ban plastic bag usage and people are starting to act on the Earth's behalf. Together we can help save this planet with every bag we reuse. Seattle's bill for taxing plastic bags was just voted down, but it is just the beginning and a sign of change. Communities need to continue to strive towards a solution and be proactive about setting an example for others. Let’s work together to protect the earth, ocean, animals and our children by using reusable bags.

five ACCESSORIES has some great bags that can be used for resuable bags, if you wanted to double up the purpose of a new designer handbag.

Custon Orders- New from five ACCESSORIES

This week marked a new beginning for five ACCESSORIES as we received our first custom order for our eco-friendly Off The Street picture frame. Thanks to DePaul University!

Since our Off The Street vendors are hand designing these delightful picture frames out of refuse from the streets of Chicago, it will be easy for them to replace the triangle shape ticket stub in the middle of the top and bottom of the frame with DePaul’s custom logo.

Therefore, we wanted to let you all know that for those hard to buy for individuals in your life, our recycled picture frames may be the perfect way to personalize and give them a gift they don’t already own.
For more information, please contact us at info@fiveaccessories.com with Custom Frame Order in the subject line.
