Eco-Mist Designs was started in June 2012, after going shopping and spending $240.00 on groceries and they had taken away the plastic bags with handles. I have a rare inherited condition as well as arthritis and I HAD to use handles to carry the groceries. So I came home and proceeded to create bags for my shopping pleasure. I started using jeans and old t-shirts, then moved into burlap bags and upholstery scraps and so much more.
