    I’m wearing my Simple shoes right now!!! They are the best!!! I heart this bag!!! I MUST HAVE IT!!!

  • Jessica

    As someone who works on the road and outdoors- having a stylish, eco-friendly, VEGAN bag would be awesome. I run a farmer’s market stand so I know I could share the coolness of this bag with others and further my mission of leading by example and showing others that being eco-friendly and vegan can also be stylish!

  • http://www.organicnation.tv DorotheeRH

    Very cool – I’ve always wanted to try Simple Shoes out!

  • Tara

    Ohhh it would rock my world because I need a VEGAN bag. It is so hard as a Vegan to find eco-friendly and STYLISH things for us. I would wear it around everywhere, could definitely use it while riding my bike (my current and only vegan bag is more like a purse) and well, I never win anything!

  • Meg J

    Sure Sure, I would LOVE one :)

  • http://theartofrandomwillynillyness.blogspot.com Carolyn G

    These are such cute bags!

  • Lisa L

    I think its cute and will be handy for toting along items fashionably while out bumming around this summer.

  • http://www.oneamazingblog.blogspot.com Tiffany

    I love my Simple shoes, and I’ve been wanting a Simple bag for awhile now… Thanks for the contest!

  • Cathy Herard

    Oh, this bag would SO rock my world!! I just noticed my strap on my current bag is falling apart and NEED a new bag and one of these would go so GREAT with my eco sneaks from Simple Shoes!!!

  • joanna smith

    Who new eco-friendly could be so stylish and chic!! This ultra hip and cool messenger bag will rock my world because it has the perfect compartments for my iPod and headphones so I will be able to sport this on myself all around town wherever my journey takes me and listen to all my favorite tunes. And, better yet, it is going to take me one step further on the road to greening up my act, which I have been passionately pursuing! I will be so proud to wear this bag and promote the fact to all my friends that it is rendered in organic cotton and the zippers are made from recycled plastic, now how cool is that and what a great conversation fashion piece this is! I can be a great role model to others that being fashionable and eco-friendly can look urban chic and glamorous! Thanks for the chance to enter!

    This bag would make me fashion forward!

  • http://www.cliffspencer.net Leigh

    I am not a fashionista, but I like quality and longevity. I use the same bag everyday. It’s suede. A second hand Coach hobo bag. I’m ready to go vegan. So if I won this, I would the use the bag EVERY DAY and get complimented constantly and everyone else would want to go buy one.

  • Ashley

    I remember getting my first pair of Simple shoes when I was in Junor High (over 13 years ago)! They were blue, and I thought I was the coolest kid in school! I still love Simple Shoes today, and TOTALLY need a Simple Bag to add to my wardrobe!

  • Haley

    Oh – these bags are so very cute! I agree with the above-posters; it’s so hard to find a fashionable VEGAN bag.

  • Mallory

    This bag would make me look hotter.

  • Anna

    Love Simple — they are a great progressive company that believes in pushing the envelope in regards to sustainable design. Would love to sport this bag around to show off the sustainable sexiness!

  • Mindy

    Bags are my life. simple are my shoes.

  • LEIGH ANN JAMES

    This bag would make me sing the Golden Girls theme song, while doing a happy dance. I LOVE SIMPLE!

  • http://www.myeverydayblog.com Amanda@My Everyday

    I always buy the cheapest stuff I find because I’m short on money. I’ve bought two diapers bags in the past year, what a waste! And they are sooo ugly too! I just want something eco friendly and cute I can lug baby items around in! I would cherish one of these!

  • http://www.inrebasworld.com Reba

    This bag would so rock my world because I am always on the go and have my journal and camera with me. I need a stylish bag to go through life with me…plus is would look styling with my simple shoes!

    I have had an eye on this bag…watching…wanting…and so not having the money!

  • Amanda

    Because I’m 24 and starting college again June 22nd. I could use something that would make me feel cool in a class of 18 year olds. It should fit my laptop and notebooks perfectly.

  • http://aquazie.com Erin Cummings

    nice bag, simple raises the bar with their creative use of non-traditional materials.

  • reva skie

    This bag would rock my world because I need a new spring bag. A free bag would be bonus.

  • http://lynnaldridge.com Lynn

    I love how much Simple has done to make products that are so much better for us and our little planet. I have banned so many companies b/c they aren’t doing anything, or they’re using deceptive advertising and only doing the minimum to appear ‘green’. So, I applaud you Simple Shoes and keep it up! :D

  • Elizabeth

    I’m working hard at making eco-conscious decisions. My current purse/bag is a very old camelback that I throw everything into (for work and for fun) and it is now falling apart. This bag would get some much use if I were to win it! Plus, it’s great to promote sustainability.

  • Molly

    THIS BAG WOULD MAKE MY WORLD GO ROUND! (and I can wear it with my Joe Curren Retire eco sneaks!)
