The much talked about green bag or eco-friendly bag in mid-2007 was Anya Hindmarch’s I’m not a plastic bag! Imagine having an Anya Hindmarch bag for only $15! Yup, that’s right! Hindmarch’s bags are usually worth hundreds of dollars. So when she released this bag, fashionistas were all talking about it. The bag was supposed to be used as a shopping or market bag, so you don’t have to use plastic or paper bag… Imagine, when it was released in Whole Foods NYC, the 3,000 bags were sold out in 2 hours! The line started the night before the release! The I’m not a plastic bag was a hit! It was not the usual shopping bag. It came in a stylish package. Too bad Fashion Juice was not able to acquire one.
So when everyone saw all the hype caused by this fashionable shopping bag, everyone started making green bags as well. Take for example:
Beau Soleil’s Raw Cotton Tote = $45
Diane von Furstenberg’s Floral Tote = $45
Juicy Couture California Canvas Tote = $75
My Bag Cares = $20
