Plastic Bags You’ll Actually Want to Use and Carry

With the state of the environment, using any form of plastic is frowned upon. People are no longer using plastic bags as the grocery but we ask you to reconsider. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about those toxic plastic bags but rather totes and other pieces that are made to look like plastic. You might have seen Céline’s version on the runway and many other brands have played around with the trend.
