I think it’s great that a well know designer went for this and that many celebrities and fahionistas around the world supported her by wearing the bag in public.

Hey, these bags look really cool. I don’t see why Jute isn’t used more; it’s simply BETTER than plastic. Jute has been used as a packaging material for centauries. I’m very into re-useable eco friendly products like these. I found some funky patterned jute bags too. It’s good that we’re now getting products like these designed that appeal to a wider audience. I have seen people who openly don’t care much about the environment and their affect on it carrying this style of bag. I’m not saying that’s the case of anyone here but I’m making the point that this sort of thing makes green issue popular with people who wouldn’t normally care. All good in my opinion.

I think anything that cuts down on the number of plastic bags we produce, use then throw away is a great idea. I have recentle made a decision not to use plastic bags after learning how long they take to decompose, I think it is 125 years. I now even use biodegradable poop bags. If we all do a little it will make a big difference.

To make a real difference try out these re-usable batteries from USBCELL (http://www.usbcell.com/pr/13 ) , there are over 15 billion alkaline batteries thrown away each year which is unsustainable.

Hi
I was one of the lucky ones to get a bag this morning too, got to my local Sainsburys at 7.30am to a queue of over 50 people I was on my way out as and a lady told me to get a ticket – apparently not all Sainsburys nationwide were selling 30 bags per store this particular store was selling 239 and another was selling 500.

I hope everyone enjoys their bags and maybe look forward to adding to their collection – other anya bags will be out in June from USA and Japan

I have to admit, I love the design of the bag. It is a bag that makes you feel like taking it out for a spin around the shops. However, I have to agree with the opinion that this might be out of fashion within in a few months time. The discerning shopper is always looking for something new to sling over her shoulder (or is that just me?). With that said, i do think it is a great alternative to a plastic bag.
I think the movement to get rid of plastic bags is something we should all be apart of, in one capacity or another. I read in the news a few weeks ago that there is a school in the South of England banning children from bringing plastic bags to school. I have a small business which actually focuses on creating ‘fashionable alternatives’ to the ghastly plastic bag. The most popular is our waterproof swimsuit bag. In the past I have used plastic bags, but my luggage always ended up smelling and my clothes a bit damp. Not nice to find after suffering from jet lag and post holiday blues.
I am interested to see how other companies and designers find fashionable designs to get rid of those pesky plastic bags.
