I'm sick of plastic bags!
I've seen the onya bags but I want one with long handles that I can put over my shoulder. I know whatever I get will have to be nylony if it was just a miniscule bit stylish that would be great Can anyone help?!

I just have a cotton shopping bag given away by one of the stores (health food shop I think) - it has long handles and folds up very small. Plus a M&S Bag for Life as well.

I don't think the cotton ones will fold up small enough, I don't have vast handbags. I do use the bags for life etc for my grocery shopping

I saw some in morrisons the other day in there holiday stuff. It was a green bag with long handles that was made from like a sliky material think It cost about £1.49

margoandjerry · 25/03/2008 14:46

just bumping to say yes, there's a keyring one out there somewhere. I've seen it somewhere and if someone would just hurry up and tell me where to buy one I could get on with saving the world. Humph.

Onya do an over the shoulder on (courier style)

Not sure I'd put it in a sentence containing the word stylish mind you

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 25/03/2008 14:56

Urm NO. Isn't there anything vaguely stylish?! Is it not acceptable to be eco-friendly and yet not wish to wear hemp clothing and have friends called stig?

nope, that's your choice.
Stylish but enviromentally damned

Claires have teeny fold away ones. I made the mistake of buying a pink one that folded into an oblong shape. I got it in Au Nautrel and every time I opening my bag it looked like I was carting a vibtrator around.

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 25/03/2008 15:08

lol Stig's best friend

Wouldthese be ok?

mybestfriendiscalledstig · 25/03/2008 15:15

Am going to boil my head - have just looked at something on an RSBP web site and thought 'gosh, that's quite cool'...

girlfrommars · 25/03/2008 15:24

They have the odd cool thing. This might help to reassure you that it's not a permanant affliction.
If you're still thinking 'that's cool' seek medical help

moondog · 25/03/2008 15:27

I've got one of these Longchamp foldaway jobbies

Kbear · 25/03/2008 15:34

Claires have tiny bags (smaller than a purse) that open up. All bright colours and patterns.

slayerette · 25/03/2008 15:41

There's this from Lakeland but it's not stylish!

slayerette · 25/03/2008 15:42

The Mini Maxi Shopper I mean.

DANCESwithaMuffinTop · 25/03/2008 16:01

Well, I think I've solved all our problems, it's neither small, lightweight or in fact desirable... [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Spider-Man-Shopping-Hand-Bag-NQ21B_W0QQitemZ260221896348QQcmdZViewItem?ha sh=item260221896348 here] I wonder what market they were aiming at?

Have seen sth like the Onya bag in Oasis which looked quite good, worth a try?

Pannacotta · 25/03/2008 16:06

Might have been this one (cant quite remember)
