Every year, the Newark Public Library puts on an exhibition of historic, cool and arty shopping bags; an extension of what many museums around the world have done from time-to-time. These days, the Green movement has made shopping bags somewhat of "a bad guy," so if you're still gonna make them, they had better be worth the hassle...and make some noise.
Great example of that, and of truly walking the talk is the bag below from Goodfoot,a shoe store that caters to sneakeristas, the hard core who buy, collect and sometimes even wear the cool, limited edition stuff from Nike, Puma, Vans et al.
My son Hayes and I (I know, I blew open the demographic) each bought a pair of Adidas from them last week, and while the selection and mode of display (with tilted mirrors to show each shoe's art-like sole) were stellar, you can't really say were were offered concierge-level treatment...which makes their shout-out bag even more apropos.
Turned a lot of heads while we walked down the street ...and given the Pow!, this is one I'll actually recycle by using.
