"Ugly Betty likes "trashy" bags"

If you follow Ugly Betty, you might have noticed Betty carrying around a funky new bag (like the one pictured here) in the "Odor in the Court" episode (also, if you don't watch the show, you really, really need to).
The bag wasn't something chosen by the costume designers on set; it was actually a gift to America Ferrera (who plays Betty) from Rebagz, and she liked it so much that she decided to wear it on the show.
Aside from being a cool enough bag to be featured on a show about fashion, Rebagz items are all made from things like juice packs and rice sacks -- items that would typically be thrown away, but instead were reused to create a stunning and unusual item.
If the multicolor tote isn't quite your style, don't give up -- Rebagz has a number of bags in different colors and styles, so you're sure to find one that suits your personality.
"Ugly Betty Gets A Beautiful Recycled Bag"

On a recent episode, character Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) carried a large multi-colored Rebagz Tie-Tote. These bags are made from recycled materials; specifically juice packs and nylon rice bags. Other celebrities that enjoy the line include Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Heidi Klum, Halle Berry, Sheryl Crow and Serena Williams. Needless to say, the owners of the company are thrilled that so many people are going the recycled route when it comes to fashion acccessories.
“‘We’re so happy that our Rebagz bags are gaining recognition,’ says Stevens-Heebner. ‘We were both thrilled and surprised to see America Ferrera with her bag on ‘Ugly Betty’ and to be invited to participate in the Pasadena Museum of History’s exhibit.’ The response to Rebagz’s introductory line last summer, ‘…was amazing,” she says, ‘and we’ve added even more exciting eco-friendly designs for 2008.’”
