Chic-friendly handbags for life
Fortunately, a league of designers has come to the rescue with reusable shopping and beach bags that don’t compromise on the style stakes. So now the choice is ours. Phew.
Trend-setting
Plastic bags are a scourge on the planet. They’re already banned in many countries and cities all over the world, and with good cause: not only are they hideously non-biodegradable, but they’ve been blamed for disasters such as the Bangladesh flooding of the 1980s.
Horrified by our 10bn plastic bag habit, designer Anya Hindmarch whipped out her pencils in 2007 and produced one of the most coveted shoppers ever made. Her “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” shopper sold out within an hour. Eco-friendly fashionistas had been longing for a chic shopper, and Hindmarch’s landmark bag was the start of a huge new trend. Now you can choose from a range of exciting environmentally-friendly bags for your groceries: bags to match your jeans, your shoes, your dog, or your car.
Choices, choices
To funk up a beach trip, try the modernist inflatable shopper – now there’s a bag sure to attract attention on the sands or in the supermarket. We’ve also got our eyes on the gorgeous, eco-friendly Christy shopper, a generous bag with great environmental credentials. It’s trimmed with a coconut button and rope clasp.
For travel in eco-friendly style, try one of the on-trend holdall bags that are flooding the market – of the lot we like the Smith & Cannova holdall, with chic paisley outer and a Mary Poppins-esque capacity for all your bits and pieces.
Summer’s coming, although you might not notice, and we’re already planning our beach outfits. You’ll need a roomy beach bag for sun lotion, glasses case, books, towels and make-up (er, just because we’re sunbathing doesn’t mean we’re going to let our mascara dribble). Take a look at this chic Canvas Tote in classic white. The gorgeous colour will show off your tan – and complement all your beach-wear. If you want something brighter, usher in the sunshine with this sensational Beach Bag– in canary-yellow with a Bollywood style print. It’s got lots of room and an internal pocket for your mobile and keys (to save you rummaging around beneath wet towels).
Of course, eco-friendly bag designers haven’t entirely abandoned jute and rope. And why would they? Jute’s an outstandingly enviro-friendly fabric that grows without fertilisers and makes strong, tough beach bags too. This new Jute String Shopper is a stylish new take on jute, with a fashionably stripy lining and cute rosette.
Just try to look at this one without swooning: the Bulaggi Hobo Shopper is right on-trend for summer 2009. It’s suited to a Saturday morning stroll at the Farmer’s Market – the perfect size for carrying a few fresh groceries and that irresistible smoked cheese. You’ll look the part, and you’ll feel so virtuous when you refuse the plastics. Bag for life? Definitely!
