Description
This recycled shopping bag is printed all over with rows of illustrated butterflies, each one labelled with its common name and its Latin name in small type, much like a page from an old field guide. Among them you will find the Peacock, Red Admiral, Brimstone, Painted Lady, Purple Emperor, Orange Tip and Swallowtail, all set out on a soft pale green background, with the print carried round the sides as well. Two deep red handles finish it off. The bag stands 40cm tall, 34cm across and 15cm deep, and that depth gives it a roomy base for boxes, jars and loose fruit alike.
We think of it first as a bag for the weekly shop, the farmers' market or the corner greengrocer, but it earns its keep well beyond the supermarket. Use it for library books, a change of clothes for the gym, craft supplies or the odds and ends that travel between home and work. Hang it on a hook by the front door or keep it in the car boot so it is always to hand. The print is detailed enough to reward a closer look, and it brings a welcome bit of colour to a grey morning at the shops.
The outer is made from 90% recycled plastic (polypropylene) with 10% OPP plastic, and the handles are polypropylene too. It weighs just 0.1KG, so it adds next to nothing to your load before you start filling it. Care is simple: it is wipe clean only, so give it a once-over with a damp cloth when it needs it, leave it to dry and keep it out of the washing machine. It makes a cheerful small gift on its own, or wrap a present inside it so the bag becomes part of the gift.
