These chic shopping bags will improve your eco credentials

Hands up if you’ve ever found yourself at the supermarket checkout, only to realise you’ve forgotten your re-usable shopping bags? Or perused the local weekend markets literally juggling your purchases as the stall holders don’t give away plastic bags? While we all know the eco benefits of keeping a stash of bags handy for our weekly shop, sometimes we need a little sartorial inspiration to give us that kick up the bum that will inspire us to actually do so.
