5 Characteristics of Printed Cotton Shopping Bags
Cotton shopping bags are quickly becoming one of the most sort after printed carrier bags on the market, with both retailers and customers loving them for a variety of reasons - here are our top 5 characteristics that make them a bag you should take notice of:
- 1. Stylish. Since it's birth in the 1940's when US based brand L. L. Bean launched their Canvas tote bag to help it's customers carry ice, this versitile shopper has been seen around town. It's shape appeared on the arm of models in the sixties as designer Bonnie Cashin created her iconic tote. Then in the 1980's book retailer The Strand made it the bag to be seen with in New York and the rest as we say is history. It's fabric and colour have had many forms but it's place in fashion is cemented firm.
- 2. Lightweight. How often have you seen someone whip out a folded cotton shopping bag from their pocket or handbag? The nature of the fabric makes it light and easy to carrry around ready for use.
