Fab Flash: "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Banned in China

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 04:00:22 -0700

The latest in the Anya Hindmarch "I'm not a Plastic Bag" saga: the tote has been banned in China after several women were trampled yesterday in Hong Kong trying get ahold of the canvas tote.

Fakes are already beginning to proliferate; one Beijing-based dealer told The Times of London he expects to have almost 1,000 bags of the same size, weight and fabric as the real Anya Hindmarch tote by the weekend. Oh the craziness this bag has caused!

Anya Hindmarch I'm not a Plastic Bag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 14:50:22 -0700

I've been seeing this Anya Hindmarch "I'm not a Plastic Bag", approx $6.75, everywhere. Apparently it is all the rage. It it quite cheeky and with all the talk about banning plastic shopping bags it is fashionably PC. And for once here is a designer bag that is pretty wimpy in composition and is actually cheap - as it should be! That is why this bag has been selling like hotcakes and has bids up to $270 on eBay. Ok, that I'm not sure about...but this would be an awesome bag to tote my organic groceries in. Fashion meets function meets the environment. Viva la future!

Simply Fab: Karl and Marc Canvas Totes

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:00:11 -0700

The canvas tote continues to evolve. It took off with Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag - remember the frenzy? - and has since taken all sorts of designs and personalities. The latest, and arguably coolest, are these Pattern People Karl and Marc Canvas Totes ($45 each). I mean walking alongside the real Karl and Marc would be way more entertaining, but their cartoon versions are second best. I'm all team Karl; Imagine walking into a supermarket with the Kaiser by your side.

Things You Loved to Love and Loved to Hate in 2007

2007 was a year in which Dolce & Gabbana made $275 safety glasses, rings came with living plants, Crocs went ballet, tops had huge holes in the front, and Anya Hindmarch caused an "I'm not a plastic bag" frenzy. Whew - what a year! Looking back, do you still feel the same way you used to? Do you Love It or Hate It?

On Our Radar: Method's Plastic Bag Rehab

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

Now that the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" craze has died down, there's yet another eco-chic bag to take its place. Method's Plastic Bag Rehab is perfect for stashing your groceries or laundry. It's a bit brighter than Anya's but has a similar Boogie Nights-esque writing font. Plus, it has its own tiny interior pocket so you can fold it when not using.

If you want one, go here and download a mail-in form. You must purchase $20 or more of any Method product either at a retailer or online. Once you do, save your receipt and mail it to the address on the form. This offer is good from October through December, and while supplies last.

A Stupid Bag Tote: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 03:00:22 -0800

It's safe to say that the hype around Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag has died down . . . until now. This I'm A Stupid Bag Tote ($10) pokes fun at the craze of eco-friendly bags. Still, one of these totes can replace over 700 plastic bags. Though I gave in to the original version, I won't be carrying the knock-off any time soon. You?

On Our Radar: The Baggu Bag

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:10:22 -0700

Ever since they decided to ban plastic shopping bags here in San Francisco a few months ago, fashionable alternatives have really been on my mind. We've talked about the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Tote, and the Marc by Marc canvas tote (got it!), but this new option may be my favorite yet.

The Baggu ("bag" in Japanese), $8, is made out of super strong ripstop material - it holds 25 lbs of groceries, which is equal to the amount 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags can carry! It's machine washable, ethically made in China, and can be folded into a really small pocket-sized pouch when it's not being used. Best of all, it's cute enough that you won't just want to take it to the grocery store - it'll end up going with you (and me) to the beach, the gym, on the airplane - everywhere!

On Our Radar: Marc by Marc Jacobs Canvas Tote

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:45:44 -0700

Over the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Tote, but not over the PC notion of using a canvas tote to carry groceries? The "Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs" canvas tote is a very stylish and viable option at only $12! Plus, it has a sense of irony: Marc pokes fun at himself and all the other designers who plaster their names all over everything. That's my boy.
