Tote couture? My old bag’s a classic

Tote bags | Charity charmer | Handwriting | Starmer’s brakes | Religious conversionReusable tote bags have been around a lot longer than Anya Hindmarch’s “I am not a plastic bag” one from 2007 (How the ‘forever tote’ became the It bag du jour, 23 January). In the early 1990s (possibly even the 1980s), Friends of the Earth sold canvas tote bags with the message “Say no to plastic bags”. Mine has been used at least once a week since then.
