Ecoist (www.ecoist.com) - an eco-fashion accessories company - has launched a line of handbags made from misprinted Coca-Cola bottle labels. The partnership will pursue Ecoist's mission to have more individuals who live a modern, eco-minded lifestyle to join the Ecoist movement. Most labels will be

sourced from bottlers located in Peru, which has a production center operated by a fair trade manufacturer called Prosostenible S.A.

Ecoist was founded in 2004 by brothers Yair and Jonathan Marcoschamer along with their mother and sister-in-law, and has kept millions of excess packaging from going to landfills. For more details, e-mail: yoni@ecoist.com, or visit: www.ecoist.com.
