Posted on: Oct 16

Have you ever thought those celebrity must-have handbags were out of your price range? Well meet the "I’m Not a Plastic Bag" tote from British designer Anya Hindmarch. It's one of the world's most popular It bags, yet it originally retailed for a fiver.

Anya Hindmarch released these iconic handbags in collaboration with global social change group We Are What We Do in 2007. Now one year later their popularity hasn't waned, as the green movement goes from strength to strength. On their global release most of the limited edition totes were snapped up within two hours, but their enduring appeal ensures they’re still available today through eBay, Amazon, and other auction sites.

The tote is made from natural unbleached cotton, embellished with the famous "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" slogan written in fun bubble script. The text might be brown, navy, green, or charcoal gray depending on the bag’s origin. Each handbag is accented with trim in the same shade as its lettering. The soft rope handle ensures they're as gentle as your hands as they are on the planet.

These cute totes are so versatile, they can carry your groceries, beach essentials, gym gear, or anything else you need. But they're not just functional. They also help to spread they word that plastic bags are so last century!
