tips and products which make the transition to using less plastic a little easier.
First up, here’s a quick roundup of some gorgeous alternatives to plastic shopping bags - and they just all happen to be made from my personal favourite fibre: luscious linen.
All the colours of the rainbow.
Available in over a dozen colours, this roomy bag is made to order from European linen in Lithuania. We love the long handles which make it easy to carry - even when full of fresh fruits & veggies from the market.
Flirtily Floral
A linen bag, daintily embroidered with springing flowers. Hand made in Belarus, this is so pretty it can go straight from the market to a picnic in a park!
Serious stuff.
With reinforced handles, this natural linen tote is sewn for serious use. Perfect for gathering a windfall of apples at the farmer’s market, this bag is made from Oeko Tex certified linen in Latvia. Seriously practical, but seriously chic too!
Pockets & Petals
Made from heavy weight linen, this little treasure is sure to garner compliments. A helpful buttoned pocket is useful for keys & phones, whilst the hand embroidered rose makes it truly special. Made in Lithuania, the bag is available in various colours.
Hidden pockets
Made from Oeko Tex certified European linen in Lithuania, we’re loving the luscious raspberry colour of this large tote bag. It also comes in a gorgeous moss green, and 15 other earthy tones. Hand made to order, it’s a classic tote to keep on hand for shopping days.
