The Story of Juicybe Bags: Get 'em now at Next Adventure
Gear News | Front Counter | Womens Gear
Ten years ago the women of B. Luz in the Philippines decided to clean up their neighborhood. They formed a Cooperative and began collecting, segregating and recycling their community's refuse to make JUICYBE bags. With recycled juice containers (mainly from school lunch programs) the women have designed durable, unique hand bags that benefit their whole community by empowering women, raising environmental awareness and providing financial support for other women owned businesses in the area. When Next Adventure learned of this project and got the opportunity to sell their bags in our store, we were all over it! Get a JUICYBE bag: touch lives across the planet, support creative solutions for sustainable living, and help reduce the mountain of plastic bags piling up in our local landfills when you BYOB (bring your own bag). $12.99-$19.99

Gear News | Shop News | Website News | Front Counter| "Next Adventure Commercial Out-takes": Things can get a little rowdy sometimes here at Next Adventure.
