It appears that it's not only us Brits who have gone ga-ga over Anya Hinmarch's 'I'm not a plastic bag' bags. Over in New York the shopping totes sold out within 29 minutes at the Columbus Circle branch of Wholefoods! People queued up overnight, sleeping on camp beds and chairs to grab a bag when the store opened at 8am this morning. The store were selling them in packs of three for US$48.74. One fight broke out when a woman barged in at the front of the line, and another woman fainted with all the excitement! Shame Wholefoods decided to put each purchase in a plastic carrier bag *rolls eyes*!
