About

Simple Peace is the brainchild of DeAnna Reposa who feels that going green does not have to involve compromising quality or style. While on a mission to reduce her paper/plastic bag suburban shopping lifestyle, DeAnna started using paper bags exclusively. Then she went to reusing paper bags that were kept in the back of her car. Still dissatisfied with her ecological impact, she bought every reusable canvas, fabric, polypropylene recycled product, and wasn’t yet satisfied. “They were too flimsy. The more I learned about the environmental impacts of grocery shopping, the more I became obsessed with not only buying organic, local foods, but also with finding a fabric to make a bag to bring it home. I wanted fabric that was organic or sustainable and beautiful.”

The name, Simple Peace, came from many Sunday masses with DeAnna’s high school boyfriend. She loved the time during mass when you turn to your neighbor and wish them peace. “Peace be with you….and also with you.” What a beautiful tradition – wishing your neighbor peace whether they were strangers, friends or relatives.

When thinking of a name, DeAnna wanted to incorporate her wish for the health of the planet, the well being of her family and…peace…Simple Peace.

Each day we become more aware of the effects our actions have on the environment. Make a difference. Peace be with you.
