If you have noted the recent furore over Sainsburys “I’m Not A Plastic Bag [but not a particularly ethical bag either]” designer bag, then you might want to shimmy along to Sally Walton’s website instead. Made near Brighton from locally-sourced recycled and vintage cottons, these really are both ethical, low-mile, made by grown-ups, and genuinely better than a plastic bag for your grocery shopping. And is it just me, but I think she might have ‘inspired’ some of our super-market marketers too (see the pic below)?

Anyway, every handbag should have one of these rolled up in the bottom, even if it’s only to bring home a bottle of something nice at the end of the day. Cheers, Sally!
