Every once in a while a product comes along that creates such a buzz, such a frenzy, that people stand in line at crazy hours to buy said item. I’m not a plastic bag is a reusable shopping bag from the English label Anya Hindmarch, and is one of these high demand items. After completely selling out of a limited edition in the UK, the company is now selling a version of the bag in a small number of selected stores in the United States.

No doubt, it’s due to the increased awareness about the environment that reusable shopping bags are now becoming all the rage– and I hope this trend sticks around. Plastic bags for a variety of reasons are not eco-friendly (or as No Impact Man puts it, Plastic Bags are the Devil). In the US, it will require a big transformation to wean consumers and retailers off the cheap disposable bags.

But these Sakyots take environmentally friendliness to higher level. Perhaps they should be called “I AM a plastic bag” because they are actually made from used plastic bags. Not only that, each one is unique, and looks really sharp. And perhaps best of all, you won’t have to stand in any lines to acquire one. -Jill Woodward
