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.
From grocery tote bags to backpacks, these PVC pieces are now seen everywhere. So, if you’re looking for a plastic bag that you won’t feel guilty carrying around, shop our list below.
Mango Vinyl Shopper Bag
Taking cues from Céline, Mango designed their own clear shopper bag. This one comes with a black pouch with a drawstring closure. Use this when you don’t feel like showing off the contents of your bag. This inner compartment is detachable though so use it according to your preference. Available at Power Plant Mall.
MM6 Maison Margiela Clear Backpack
Clear bags also come in the form of backpacks. This is made of 100 percent PVC, including the straps and front pocket. There is one main compartment with a zip closure in a tan color.
