For weeks now I have spied people carrying these bags out and about and at my local supermarket and every time I have simply wondered where they have got them from.
I don’t know what it is about the cult of the shopping bag in the UK, just like the infamous Anya Hindmarch version which caused mayhem on our high streets a few years ago. We all love to shop, and we all love a shopping bag to confirm it.
It was when in Marks & Spencer I finally tracked down my sought after shopper. At 75p how could I say no to such a delightful design. If it means using less plastic bags and re-using our shoppers, then surely this can only be a good thing for the environment.

Oh my God, Alice! I LOVE THIS! I love these too and think they're so cute! Would never think to look in M&S! :) Good tip!

I love re-usable bags. I have a fun stripy Reiss one and several sturdy tesco ones. This is a rather good one! x
ReplyDeleteGoing to get myself down to M and S! Love it!

I lusted over these last time I was in M&S, totally need one!
ReplyDeleteI get really excited when I shop in M&S and get a percy pig bag for life!
ReplyDeleteOh I really like this - may have to track one down, Thanks Alice. Linda xxx
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of these out and about too! Wasn't St Michael the old M&S brand label for everything they sold back in the late 20s until they got rid of the name? I think it wasn't too too long ago they got rid of it either which is weird because I don't recall any of it! I would have been too young to pay any attention to these things though and I don't think my mum shopped there that often!
ReplyDeleteWe have some bags for life that we always take shopping with us! Plastic bags should be completely phased out by now in my opinion! ~♥~
Yeah that seems to be the new thing here too. Really cute I'd saY!
ReplyDeleteWe have millions of jute bags in our house (ok slight exaggeration but definitely in the high teens) but I am still suckered into buying cute new ones. M&S do a gorgeous carrot print one too.
ReplyDelete75p for that amazing fig roll print?? Wow!

ReplyDeleteThat bag really is cute. I love whimsical pieces.
