Quote Couture Fuses Fashion and Inspiration into Canvas Bags

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Quote Couture™ today started its New Year Resolution campaign by adding colorful inspirational canvas bags to its online store at http://quote-couture.com. The Quote Couture tote bags defy traditional cream color canvas boredom and come in fashionable colors, such as black, purple, and red, among others. They are available in regular, eco-friendly, and Earth Positive options. As with all Quote Couture fashion items, the bags feature inspirational quotes such as, "It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years," by Abraham Lincoln to enlighten, motivate, and bring positive change to the planet.

"I love how Quote Couture tote bags fuse fashion and inspiration together while being Earth Positive," says Cathy O'Brien, the National Handbags Examiner (http://www.examiner.com/handbags-in-national/cathy-o-brien)."Plus the bright colors are right on trend for Spring and Summer 2011. Love it!" she adds.

Whether you want to lose some weight, start your own business, learn a new language, or want to change anything else in your life, Quote Couture provides a fashion outlet, a wearable statement that reflects your new state of mind and determination. Powerful quotes, such as, "Whether you think you can or can't, you are right," by Henry Ford, and, "The journey is the reward," (Taoist saying) can accompany you along the way. Quote Couture fashion also acts as a great motivator to keep you in check when the couch is calling to weaken those new resolutions.

"One of my personal favorites for 2011 is 'Fortune favors the bold,' by Virgil," says Chamsi Filali, founder of Quote Couture. "It's about grabbing every ounce of courage you've got and really going for it. No more excuses or holding back. That's the bag I am getting to remind myself of the bold attitude I need to achieve some big and fun objectives this year!"

Additionally, the tote bags feature a special Earth Positive line, which goes beyond the standard eco-friendliness and means the bags are climate neutral, 100% organic product, fair trade, and have a 90% or more reduced carbon footprint. With the growing global awareness towards preserving the environment, people are gradually switching from plastic bags to canvas bags. The Quote Couture canvas bags are a perfect way to start walking the walk, and not just talk the talk. Aside from shopping, the bags are versatile and can be used for the gym, the beach, or as fun everyday bags.
