The "I’m Not a Plastic Bag" Craze
Anya Hindmarch created a bag that has seen wild success, selling out in London and in America. And according to the website, “Due to the unprecedented demand for I’m Not A Plastic Bag in South East Asia and our concerns for our customers safety we will be cancelling the launches at the following stores: Anya Hindmarch Beijing, On Pedder in Shanghai and On Pedder in Jakarta.”
I have seen the story in the news and wanted to congratulate the entrepreneur for her success with the launch of this product. I have also had friends mention the desire for this particular bag and actually saw a variety of, what I thought, were cool comparables at the local Ten Thousand Villages store. Check out the alternatives that provide the same utility, added social benefit of fair trade plus allow you to have a different bag than the thousands of English and Americans. =) Ten Thousand Villages new address is 1941 South 1100 East with the grand opening happening today.
