Room For Some More?



If spring days spark wardrobe confusion- jacket or cardigan, umbrella or rain coat- the Expandable Shopper is the answer to your weather dilemmas! No more carrying excess clothing over your arm 'just in case', the Expandable Shopper can start the day as a handbag and cleverly unzip around the circumference to increase its capacity to accommodate those discarded layers.


The ingenuity doesn't stop there- a handy little concealed pocket in the base is designed to hold an oyster card or security pass, so no more frantic rummaging as you approach the scanner- simply swiped the bottom of the bag over the reader and away you go!


Extremely sturdy, yet undeniably chic, the Expandable Shopper is idea for 'one bag' weekends away, student books, business files, shopping trips- in fact any time you unexpectedly need a little for space.

FAREWELL PLASTIC BAGS!



Being housebound during the snow actually gave me a chance to do some much-needed sorting-out around the house after Christmas. As strange as it seems, the most satisfying part was finally clearing out the drawer of tatty old 'bags for life' that I'd been hoarding for far too long. Anyway, now that I'm free of plastic bags (recycled responsibly of course!), my collection of shoppers and trolley bags has really come into its own.


I was never one for those hessian bags - frankly they were too bulky to store and too awkard to take out. Now, I keep my Supermarket Trolley Bags, each folded to the size of an umbrella, in a Mini-Maxi Shopper on the back of the kitchen door next to the shopping list, ready to fling over my shoulder on my way to the shops.


My collection of Mini-Maxi Shoppers are strategically placed where I need them most - one in the car's glove compartment, a couple in the kitchen, one in my handbag - I even have a Keyring Shopper which doubles up as a reminder to pick up my eco bags when i pick up the car keys.


So I've not only freed up valuable drawer space in my kitchen but I've not needed an 'emergency' plastic bag in weeks! Result!

The Bootliner Bag


Ever wanted a bag that you can open out flat, throw everything in, and then throw it over your shoulder for transportation? This carrier is a large sheet of plastic that has a drawstring, enabling you to shove everything you want onto the bag, pull the cord closed, maintaing a neat and tidy home!


Its big enough for the kids to make a mess on with their toys, but small enough to fit in your boot!


Personally? I like to take it to the wet washing to the laundry cupboard beacause its even waterproof. Sometimes I take it to the nursery to put the pot plants on so that the mud doesnt spill inside my car boot.
