So during the summer i heard my friends were talking about this eco-friendly bag designed by Anya Hindmarch in UK, and they were obsessed with the bag. Hindmarch designed this bag to increase awareness of the enviornment and to reduce the use of plastic bags. Celebrities were being photographed carrying the bag, since It was on sale for only £5, and becasuse of the limited quantities, people were lining up 2am in the morning in order to purchase the bag. The bag also created enormous attention and popularity in Asia, people were fighting at the line up that police had to be involved to maintain the order. The bag also had gone up to £200 on ebay which is unbelievable.
A bag that was orginally designed to raise awareness about the enviornment ended up being every gril dream "it" bag, people who were fortunate to buy the bag aren't even using it as bags when go to grocery shopping, but as their fashion purse. After all, its had became a fahsion item rather than saving the enviornment. If people really care, they would buy the bags that president choice came out with, on sale for only $0.99.
I'M NOT A PLASTIC BAG!

I was walking through Pacific Mall the other day, and I found quite a few bags like these being sold for $40. I find it unbelievable that they are fake only just because these products are not available so openly anymore (and also because the text is usually stitched on the fakes). It's a shame that some manufacturers take advantage of the fact that consumers want to purchase an eco-conscious bag, but really haven't gotten what Hindmarch intended.
