What you need to know: Stella McCartney for LeSportsac Hobo Shoulder Bag

We like:
That Stella's succeeded in bringing to the market a pioneering green fashion item; that it's a welcome alternative to the ubiquitous organic cotton shopper
We don't like:
That we couldn't coax any ethical info out of them
SmartPlanet judgement:
We're loving this bag's cool, youthful vibes, and the use of recycled nylon in mainstream fashion is impressive. And seriously, you can't tell it's recycled. On the ethical front, we'd love to see more transparency in terms of the manufacturing and would welcome evidence that the collection is sweatshop-free.
