I spotted Leonor Mendoza’s super-cool Engage Green bags in Grand Central at the Christmas Bazaar as I was zooming by to catch a bus to JFK airport, and I had to stop! I was so caught up in her descriptions and checking out the bags that I almost missed my ride! They first caught my eye because they are gorgeous, and second because I could tell they were made of unusual materials. My eye didn’t lie: Leonor constructs her bags variously from recycled paper and plastic, cork, organic cotton and hemp.
