Plaid Doctrine, a company devoted to crafting environmentally-smart and sexy bags manufactured entirely in the USA, has the answer: a chicly crafted briefcase ($449) with outer fabric made from recycled bottles (it’s both water and stain-resistant), and vegetable-tanned leather trim. In a classic houndstooth pattern, the case is ideal for a 17” screen, and measures 12” wide and 4” deep to hold extra folders, notepads, or day planners inside, which is lined with recycled, rip-stop nylon.

Really Edible Crayons
As parents of young children, we constantly worry about what our kids put in their mouths.
Any toy, equipment, clothing that has even a trace of toxicity gets us up in arms and worried. But designers Luxirare have very, very painstakingly (and we do not use the word lightly) created a palette of crayons from food items (like freeze dried corn, nuts, beans) which contribute to the color of the crayon. This is food coloring at its purest.
These crayons are really for eating.
