So thats the bag everyone's been fussing about. A very cute enviromental friendly tote designed to encourage people to execute the action of reducing the amount of plastic bag usage to save the environment all across the globe. Plus, its great to use as a shopping bag, or for a trip to the wet market. Finding that the bag was a total must have item, I woke up at 6am, left home around 7am and drove all the way to klcc to find that the line was bloody three floors long; people were literally camping there,seriously. I guess i was late. a little. as usual. In front of me was a very old lady who looked like she was about to collapse and pass any damn minute during that very moment and behind me stood a bunch of youngsters around the same age as me yapping non stop about how they're gonna walk around with a real plastic bag with 'i am a plastic bag, so fucking what?' written on it that is IF they dont get a chance to grab hold of one of the bags, when three girly gay men was strutting towards our way with the bags on each of their hands with an annoying 'hah, nailed u guys!' look on their friggin faces. And there I was, with a focaccia turkey cheese sandwich in one hand and a grande choc chic frap in the other(trying hard not to look like a starving hobo), chewing down on my breakfast. So three long hours passed and i was two meters away from the door, when(how predictable), the bags were already sold out. Well, i didnt wail or cry although i did feel like shedding down a tear or two. Instead, i opt for the optimistic side of me by telling my self 'hey, its only a bag; plus, uve only heard about it last minute.' Whatever it is, good luck to the teenagers earlier with those pink plastic bags they were talking about.A few weeks later,
It was fucking everywhere!! Magazines, Headlines, Television, Internet(selling on eBay now at 200bucks)! We all know it was like a fucking Mega of All friggin designer sales (It was on sale for rm50), but help me get over it here! As usual when in distress, the damsel seeks for retail therapy. Sadly, no help there as well; everytime i browse through a rack and as i look up, i see another girl carrying the damn bag. Envious, i try to take a closer look everytime hoping it would be an imitation. Of course, at that time i thought it was impossible to have replicas of those.
Until, my eyes proved me wrong. Went back to mummy's hometown two weeks ago, had dinner at a restaurant nearby some mall. As i was going up the escalator, a tiny colourful stall caught my attention.They sold different types of fugly bags when one caught my eye. It was non other than a fake replica of the 'Im not a plastic bag' tote. Went closer, checked the prize, they were selling it for 20 bucks. Disgusted and amused at the same time, I still dont quite know why, i walked away with a blooming satisfaction in me.
Im over the bag now, ive got a new one on my ultimate wish list. I guess the demands on the 'not a plastic' bag was so high, Anya Hindmarch came up with some sequels..
Anya Hindmarch 'To Hell In A Handbag' tote.
Anya Hindmarch 'Girls Need Bags' tote.Simply Gorgeous, A hell lot more of a Bag than the so called 'not' plastic one. And of course, the costs arent as cheap too. Im completely obsessed by these new two. Definitely getting my hands on this one.
Lots of Love.
