Cutting-edge London design collective twentytwentyone has come up with an attractive solution to the plastic bag problem, with a new set of tote bag designs from 40 world-renowned designers.
When the owners decided to stop using polythene bags in their shop, they came up with the 'bags of goodwill' idea: They sourced a manufacturer to produce an organic and Fairtrade certified bag and asked the designers to decorate them. The bags will then be exhibited during London Design Festival and auctioned with all bids and donations going directly to the Fairtrade Foundation. [Via New Consumer]
