Where To Find a Clear Handbag - Margo Paige - Sustainable Fashion

Hi There..... Are you into sustainable fashion? Have you ever seen or bought a clear handbag?


Picture by Seadbeady

I am not saying we should all buy vintage. There are new sustainable fashion items you can buy. 😊

I thought it wouldn’t be bad for bloggers to set a good example, so a story around this clear handbag could be a great idea. 😎

Ok, I have another question for you. Don’t you just hate it when you spill something on your new handbag, and it’s damaged without repair? No matter how hard you try, the spot won’t come off. 😬

Oh yes, I’ve had this happen to me, and my clothes have had their fair share too. No need to worry, though, because spilling is what I do best. 😂

Ok, maybe not the best, but I’m pretty good at it. Especially when we are eating out. If I dare to order something with a sauce, I can guarantee there will be stains after. 😋

I’m not one to brag, but this is something I am better at than most. Hey, I am not suggesting there is no one better at it. Let me know if you are, I am desperate to know. 😏

High time to tell you some more about the clear handbag I received from Margo Paige in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

About Margo Paige

I founded Margo Paige as a response to the moral dilemmas I encountered in my life. Although I've always had a passion for handbags and fashion, the industry itself clashed with my personal values. I observed a prevalence of people and brands indulging in excessive consumption of bags, clothing, and more.

In addition to the industry's wasteful practices, I couldn't ignore the frequent news stories highlighting poor labor conditions and environmental pollution within the fashion world. After delving into this issue, I uncovered some concerning facts:

- Research indicates that consumers bought 60% more clothing in 2014 compared to 2000.
- An astonishing 85% of textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills every year.
- The fashion industry contributes nearly 10% of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions and ranks as the second-largest water consumer among industries.

Terms like waste, excess, and negative environmental impact have become synonymous with the fashion industry, especially fast fashion.

As I witnessed other industries I cared about, such as food and events, taking steps to improve their practices, I felt inspired. Organics and Fair Trade products were becoming standard on supermarket shelves, while football games and concerts were adopting zero-waste policies and providing attendees with reusable options to reduce waste. This progress was encouraging.

However, the fashion industry, while showing some efforts from industry leaders, wasn't making the necessary strides to address the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time. I realized that I could contribute to the solution by establishing a handbag brand rooted in sustainability. For me, this meant creating versatile pieces that matched my lifestyle.

Our designs, like the transparent handbag that facilitates event access and seamlessly transitions to brunch or nightlife, were crafted with multifunctionality in mind. These pieces not only catered to various lifestyle needs but also embodied a commitment to minimizing waste, sustainable fashion, and timeless design.

Though the realms of sustainability and event bag guidelines are intricate, our mission is straightforward. Margo Paige produces sustainable, multifunctional, and stylish products that enable your lifestyle to align with your values.

Cut Out Crossbody Clear Handbag

Material

GRS Certified Materials 
Recycled PU is 40% Recycled Post-Consumer Polyester + 60% Polyurethane
100% artificial renewable and degradable properties PVC

Care

For the proper maintenance of your handbag, gently clean the product using mild soap or detergent combined with warm water. It's best to use a non-abrasive towel, such as a microfiber or soft cloth. Alternatively, anti-bacterial wipes can also be used. 

Sustainability

Clear Recycled PVC boasts impressive longevity and durability, effectively extending the lifespan of this handbag and preventing it from ending up in landfills prematurely.

Utilizing Recycled PVC not only conserves resources but also diminishes the need for virgin fossil fuel-derived materials, all while maintaining the same high-performance characteristics.

The incorporation of faux detailing not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also aligns with principles of animal welfare.

Moreover, this handbag provides an end-of-life recycling solution, contributing to a more sustainable lifecycle.

Crafted with an eco-conscious approach, it is designed by women and produced ethically using eco-friendly materials.

My opinion on the clear handbag

As some of you know, I love to give you a head up about sustainable fashion, so this is a big plus if you ask me. 😍

Most of you know I am more the fall-type kind of chicken, but I wanted to point out to the spring chicks reading here that you might need this type of handbag to get into some festivals this summer. 😉

Another big plus, as I mentioned at the beginning of this blog post, is that you can spill heaps of food on it without having to throw it in the waste bin. 😃

However, there are some negatives about this clear handbag too. It is anything but safe from pickpockets, so you'd have to be very aware of this when you use it. 😞

The other problem is that you can't adjust the length of the large strap, but you can solve this by using the gold chain as a shoulder strap. 😊

Still, I think it looks pretty cool, and the size is good for festivals, events, or concerts. As you can see, it easily fits a small wallet, a cell phone, a pair of glasses, and some other minor items. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview With Fashion Stylist Kriena Nederveen

Hi There..... Are you curious about what goes on behind the scenes in the fashion industry? Perhaps my new fashion stylist interview could shed some light?


Picture provided by Kriena Nederveen

I often wonder what my life would look like if I would be in the fashion industry. You know, I just love fashion, and shopping, so a career as a fashion stylist sounds like a heavenly job. 😎

The fundamental question, however, would be how my clients would look when I am finished with them. 😏

Different for sure. I remember drawing girls and separate clothes as a kid, together with my younger sister. Then we would cut them out to fit the clothes on the girls. 😄

Imagine doing this for real. Except for the cutting-up part, of course. I wouldn’t want to trim too many edges. 😜

Perhaps it would be safer to leave it up to a genuine fashion stylist and ask her what the fashion industry is like. 😍

Picture provided by Kriena Nederveen

What are your name, function, and the company you work for?  

My name is Kriena Nederveen, and I own a business called CleD’Or, where I both function as a fashion stylist and personal shopper.
 

How old are you?

56

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I work as a fashion stylist and personal shopper for my business.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?

I spent over 3 decades in the fashion industry in sales, marketing, and merchandising. As a result, I styled many celebrities, shows, and individuals. I decided to style full-time because I love it and it brings people a lot of ease and happiness. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes. We eat with our eyes first. How people see you is the first thing they know about you. Fashion is art, a way to make an impression if you use it correctly. 

Picture provided by Kriena Nederveen

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I have successfully navigated the fashion industry for a long time. I worked with teams to bring outstanding collections to the US from Italy, to place amazing American brands in stores all over the world, and worked with some of the most amazing designers to do so. 

I have styled people who later achieved amazing things. 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I would love to style people who are truly making a difference in the world. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Yes, and no. I love certain brands and use them a great deal. If a no-name brand gets the job done, then I use it. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

I love a rocker chic style of dressing. Classics with a twist. Everything with just a little edge. 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

It has grown over the years. I still love the correct white t-shirt and a great pair of jeans. When I am getting dressed up, I want to make a statement. I want people to remember. 

Picture provided by Kriena Nederveen

In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style?

In my job as a fashion stylist, I try to have my clients go at least 10-15% outside of their comfort zone. I want them to get comfortable wearing things they did not think they could. That's the way I try to lead them. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

The best trends at the moment are: 
High-waisted jeans and pants
Longer dresses and skirts
Faux Leather
Wide leg pants
Chunky loafers

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

See-through clothing
Logos
Sky high platforms

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

As CoCo Chanel Said: “Before you walk out the door every day, take one thing off ”

Who is your style icon and why?

Bianca Jagger
She epitomizes Style, Grace, Class, and Edge all at the same time.

Thank you, Kriena, for filling in my questions. It's so great that you also offer low-key fitting and style sessions.

Interview With Fashion Model Alissa Musto

Hi There..... Have you ever dreamed of becoming a fashion model? Do you think you’ve got what it takes to do modeling jobs?


Picture provided by Alissa Musto

I can’t say I never dreamed of it, but since I am only 1.65m and wasn’t the skinny type, I never pursued it. Doesn’t almost every young girl want to be admired by everyone? All just by looking pretty and glamorous? 😎

Now that I’ve grown up a little, I know it’s not all shimmer and shine. You need thick skin and lots of patience. 😊

Those modeling jobs can take long hours in uncomfortable working conditions. I’ve seen it in a few series where they look for the next best fashion models. 😳

They don’t just get to do what they like. They have to take directions from the photographer, or his crew, who can criticize them over their looks. 😩

Nah, that wouldn’t have been good for me. I was an incredibly shy girl with low self-esteem. 😢

Hard to believe, I know, but I swear on my mother's grave it’s true. Hmm, I wonder if I can say this since she got cremated. 😕

You know, I would have been a perfect fit if they would need a tomato impersonator. Red is still my favorite color. 😂

I suppose this next fashion model on my blog didn’t have problems with being shy. Or would she? Let’s find out what she answered to my questions. 😍

Picture provided by Alissa Musto

What is your name? How old are you?

My name is Alissa Musto and I am 27 years old

Are you on Social Media? How many followers do you have?

Yes! My Instagram is @AlissaMustoMusic and my Facebook page is www.Facebook.com/AlissaMusto
I am at about 10k followers on Instagram and 13k followers on Facebook, and I’m at the beginning stages of TikTok (better late than never!)

Do you work Full-time or Part-time as a Fashion Model?

Part-time! I am a full-time performer, and modeling jobs are only a part of what I do. I also sing, play music, and act.

What made you decide to become a Fashion Model?

I first got introduced to the world of modeling when I started competing in pageants at 20 years old. 

At the time, Miss America's competitors participated in both evening gown and swimsuit modeling portions of the competition. I was crowned Miss Massachusetts 2016 and went on to compete at Miss America, where I placed in the Top 15. 

Being Miss Massachusetts opened the door to several modeling opportunities: I participated in photoshoots, sponsorships with clothing brands and boutiques, and bridal and formalwear showcases.

Prior to this, I always assumed you had to be tall to be a professional model! I’m only 5’4 (1.63m). Pageants gave me an opportunity to get my foot in the door with modeling and even after my reign, it continued to be part of my career.

How many hours do you spend modeling?

It depends on the gig! Some modeling gigs can be an all-day affair, but usually, I’m on set for 4-5 hours for a shoot. When I was preparing for pageants, I would practice my walk for a couple of hours a day.

Picture provided by Alissa Musto

Is fashion important to you? Why?

I believe your clothes should be the least interesting thing about you, and the person wearing them should be what truly shines. However, I believe fashion is important because it gives individuals an opportunity to express themselves and their creativity. 

Having my own unique sense of style is something that has set me apart on stage, in pageants, and in my day-to-day personal life. It’s an opportunity for me to showcase who I am and make an impression.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

Aside from being crowned Miss Massachusetts, my biggest successes in the entertainment industry have been appearing in projects for household names like Delta, Marriott, Jerome Alexander Cosmetics, Home Shopping Network, and House of Wu, also my accomplishments in the music field. 

I'm a lifelong musician and have had the opportunity to perform around the world as a guest entertainer on luxury cruise ships, sing at major professional sporting events, appear on national television, and open for country artist, Maren Morris.

I believe I’ve been able to achieve these successes because I don’t let setbacks or being told “no” discourage me or phase me. I grew up in this industry and every success is preceded by dozens of rejections. 

It’s a tough pill to swallow initially and it can be emotionally draining. However, I’ve never looked at quitting as an option and I know if I don’t go out and pursue opportunities, they won’t fall in my lap.

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’m always open to new opportunities and experiences, so if something I’ve never done before was thrown my way, I’d probably be down to try it! 

I actually just started taking the first steps towards something that has secretly been on my bucket list; designing a clothing line! I have a few designs ready and am setting up my shop and preparing to fully launch in 2023.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you model clothing?

A gig is a gig! The name of the brand is not important to me when I model unless I have moral/ethical objections to the brand, which in that case, I simply won’t apply for or accept the modeling job. 

I admire every designer because like myself, I consider them creators. It doesn’t matter if their creations are the most expensive or popular in the world; I just love being part of the process of someone’s vision materializing and becoming art. 

Working with bigger brands is always an exciting experience on set because I have an immense amount of respect for the designers and their entrepreneurship and success. However, the name of the brand does not solely determine whether I accept the gig or my experience on set.

Describe your personal style of clothing?

I actually buy most of my clothing from thrift and secondhand stores. I have an appreciation and love for vintage and retro clothing and also feel a responsibility to make sustainable and resourceful clothing choices in a world of fast fashion and ethically problematic production methods.

As a stage performer, I like a bit of drama in my wardrobe: bold prints, sequins, rhinestones, and interesting colors. Music is also a huge inspiration in how I dress, so my style definitely incorporates influence from rock n’ roll legends and pop icons.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?

I believe our personal styles are always growing and evolving. My signature look depends on what I’m doing! I think costumes are an important part of an overall concert experience, so if I’m performing, I like to be on stage in sequins, rhinestones, and unique pieces. 

If I’m in an interview or a more subdued setting, I like vintage dresses and bold accessories. However, on a typical day, I’m most likely black jeans and combat boots and one of my many eclectic jean jackets. I found my personal style through many of the musicians and performers I look up to.

Picture provided by Alissa Musto

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I hope so! If I’m wearing something that I bought second-hand and someone compliments my outfit, I will always use it as an opportunity to tell them I bought it at a thrift shop to encourage sustainable and environmentally-friendly clothing choices.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I love that some of the best looks from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s have made a comeback. I’m personally a huge fan of flared pants, platform heels, windbreakers and bomber jackets, and high-waisted mom jeans.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Fast fashion.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Invest in a few high-quality timeless pieces that you absolutely love and you’ll wear all the time, rather than filling your closet with junk you’ll wear once or even worse---will sit in your closet for months with the tags still on. It’s a waste of space, resources, and money.

Who is your style icon and why?

Elton John! I love the feathers, the sequins, the colors, the sunglasses, and the “wow” factor he always seems to have. Throughout his very long career, he has remained unapologetically himself and his style aligns with that mindset. His style is bold, but it works because it compliments his confidence and dynamic performances.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what a “model” is. I know professional, working models of every size, shape, race, height, and color. 

While everybody isn’t going to be the right fit for every project, there are modeling opportunities for everyone, especially as the entertainment industry becomes a more inclusive and toxic culture, and practices are increasingly getting called out. 

I’m glad I didn’t let my own insecurities about my height prevent me from ever pursuing modeling. I’m looking forward to it becoming an increasingly important component of my career and gaining the skills and experience to grow.

Hi There..... Having problems finding the perfect Valentine's gifts? Perhaps you can find what you are looking for in my new gift guide. 


Picture by Seadbeady

Do you celebrate Valentine’s day by giving gifts? We used to, but not for long. After a few years, I told my husband I didn’t want his gifts anymore, since they were never what I wanted them to be. 😣

Nah, of course not, but we found it becoming too commercial, and look where I am at the moment. Behind my screen, giving you inspiration for Valentine’s gifts with my new handmade gift guide. 😂

Completely crazy, isn't it, but I never intended to make this about Valentine’s day. Lots of the shop owners that pitched to be in this guide thought it was, so who am I to say it’s not? 😕

It’s not because I am no longer into gift-giving on February 14th, I am opposed to people who do. There is no need to feel sorry for me either. I still get my fair share of flower bunches and an occasional gift throughout the year. 😍

Well, if you like to go all out on Valentine’s day with romantic letters or cheesy greeting cards, and top this with a cool gift, check out this gift guide to find those perfect Valentine’s gifts for your loved one. 😉
