Description
This recycled shopping bag is covered all over in a cheerful wild flowers print, laid out like a page from an old botanical chart. Red poppies, blue cornflowers, purple foxgloves, forget-me-nots, cowslips and yellow gorse sit on a soft cream ground, each spray numbered and labelled with its Latin name in small, neat type. The outer is made largely from recycled plastic, finished with a pair of turquoise webbing handles 30cm long. It stands 40cm tall, 34cm across and 15cm deep, so there is room for a proper shop rather than a few odds and ends.
It is a natural companion for the weekly food shop, a wander round the market or a trip to the library, and a cheerful swap for single-use carrier bags at the till. The deep base gives room for boxes, jars and loaves, and the strong handles are comfortable to carry by hand. Between trips it folds flat, so one can live in a car boot or the drawer by the door, ready for the next time you need it. Anyone who loves a hedgerow in early summer or a meadow in full bloom will warm to the print.
The outer has a smooth, glossy printed finish, so it wipes clean rather than going in the wash. A damp cloth deals with a spill or a muddy mark; leave it open to dry before you fold it away again. It weighs very little, so it adds next to nothing to the load on the walk home. For a gift, fill it with a few treats from the market and add a handwritten tag for someone who will reach for it every week. We think it brightens even a grey shopping day.
