Little green bag

The slogan "I'm not a plastic bag" has been popular for years but in Beijing you can find many green bags, which may be quite an eye-opener.

All the shopping malls provide cloth bags now. One of the best is at The Village, Sanlitun. Its dark purple color sends a message that the bearer will quietly adhere to environmental protection and the slogan, "it's a bit of everywhere, it's unlike anywhere" is more food for thought. Its firmness and style rank it among the best bags and there is also a piece of paper attached to the handle, teaching you how to turn it into a cushion. In just a few steps, it is transformed from something to carry your goods to something you can lie on. Isn't that wonderful!

There are many more design bags in Nan Luoguoxiang. Most of the designs are simple, with bright colors. Some indie fashion brands have cloth bags too, just like Tuzki, a cartoon rabbit designed by a college student. Take a walk there and you're sure to find one to suit.
