While in London, I really became interested in the reusable bags trend. I had used them for shopping before but London really takes this eco-friendly trend to the fashion level.
The grocer Sainsburys always had fun bags such as the “Plastic Ain’t My Bag” Bag that I have also use as a purse, obviously. However the most famous has to be the Anya Hindmarch “I am not a plastic bag,” pictured below.
This bag became so popular, selling out within hours once hitting the US. Celebs are spotted carrying these bags around as handbags and countless numbers of knock-offs have been reproduced.
I do love the BYOB (bring your own bag) trend and its an hot topic in and out of the blogosphere. Check out this entry on Daytime Talk, which features a clip from GMA.
So, here’s my suggestion…
Take you reusable bags and maybe splurge on some organic and locally grown food. Buying foods that are sustainable are better for the environment and help reduce your carbon footprint! It may be a little more expensive for the organic strawberries but seriously, they do taste better. And you can tote your berries home in a berry cute bag!
So, that’s my bag. What’s yours??
