The noteworthy 2013 Eco Tote marks the fourth bag in the series and joins a collection of award-winning, creatively-designed bags, each having received national design recognition and garnered tremendous industry interest.  Additionally, this custom bag is part of ClearVision’s incentive program and is featured as the lead gift at VisionExpo East.  Customers who purchase at least 12 pieces at the show will walk away with the fashion forward bag as a “thank you” from the company.
