Read this article in the New York Times about how retailers are pouring millions of dollars into making over their shopping bags.
Never Mind What’s in Them, Bags Are the Fashion
There used to be a time when you could tell who was a crazy, bi-polar shopping bag lady and who wasn’t. Or maybe this is the first horseman of the apocalypse and we are all about to be homeless, eating cat food from the can. We’re all still going to hell, but our handbasket has been replaced with a laminated paper shopping bag.
BTW, I like sardines and the new Bloomie*s clear plastic bags.
That’s about as Ghey as it gets…
Check the new blog. On some other shit right now…
your right …bags are a new way to get your brand out ….nort recon gave out actual duffel bags for regular purchases last year ….i was pretty much dumb founded
I thoroughly enjoy the free gift packaging that Sephora does. It seriously looks nice.
Of all things, I also enjoy the unique bags from Aerie. Like they’re funny shaped and rather stiff and tie at the top with ribbon. Only a store that pushes overpriced panties, right?
Their bags > Victoria’s Secret bags though. I wish these places would stop sending me coupons for free things so I can stop fucking going to the mall though.
I get a kick out of bags for spots that sell bags though. Like Coach for instance. Why is it that the box they put your handbag purchase in is nicer than the bag they expect you to carry it around in on your way home? You’d think a handbag spot would have the creme de la creme of shopping bags but they’re just not there yet.
If anybody wants to donate some money, I’ll head over to Louis Vuitton today and report back on their shopping bags. It’s right next door to Tiffany and Gucci too, so uh…all in the name of journalism, no?
Target bags. Sturdy, no disrespect if you bring lunch to work in them (unlike Walmart) and make the finest small can trash bags.
The only point going for expensive store bags is to walk the bags around the mall so girlies think you know shit about buying.
Panties get sticky for : Sephora, Saks, Nieman Marcus, Tiffany. Nothing like breaking that pale green Tiffany’s bag and sneaking a Red Lobster gift card inside. Ooooh, Christmas joy!
That shyt is HOTTT¡I¡¯m lovin¡¯ it to death¡Gucci and louis vuitton is always making fresh moves!
