Not to be upstaged by the hype surrounding Anya Hindmarch’s bag (that is not plastic), Selfridges, the famous London department store, has ditched its yellow bags for paper ones.

This is a good move but like others I am sceptical about the timing – sounds like a PR department jumping on this bulging bandwagon.
