We are still getting countless emails asking about
Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not a Plastic Bag". Well, those are sold out and she is not making any more but there are other absolutely adorable shopping bags out there. Here are two of our favorites. The
Green and Gorgeous from Scoop NYC ($28 at Vivre) is linen and cotton with jute handles. The message is clear, it is not just about not using plastic or recycling - destroying the earth is an ugly thing. The super cute and more sublte
Green NYC Shopper from Hable Construction ($75 exclusively at Barneys) is big at 20" x 18" x 7" and made with untreated, undyed cotton canvas. It is structured so it's perfect for things other than shopping, like picnics, beach, school, work and bringing your share to holiday potlucks. The message "Lose the Plastic" (written on the back) is not as world encompassing but $10 of each bag sold goes to planting trees in NYC, so you can feel good and look good! These make the most wonderful Christmas gifts, something everyone will enjoy and appreciate. And makes your shopping so much more rewarding (not to mention easier, buy it for everyone and you can avoid the dreaded mall).
