Bags of Goodwill by Ami Kealoha
In time for the London Design Festival, and hot on the heels of Anya Hindmarch's successful/controversial I'm Not A Plastic Bag, 40 world-renowned designers have had a go at spicing up a standard shopper, and again, all for a good cause. From left to right are examples by Eero Aarnio, Barber Osgerby, Sebastian Wrong and Marcel Wanders. Along with the others, they can be seen at London store TwentyTwentyOne for the next few days. You can also bid for the one-off bags too, with the money going to the U.K.'s Fairtrade Foundation.

Susan Bijl Bags
Rotterdam designer Susan Bijl's colorful tote bags make the trip to the supermarket or department store (or wherever) more eco-friendly and more fashionable. Weighing in at less than thirty bucks, the rain-resistant nylon bags are available in assorted colors (some more nu-rave than others) and two sizes. Either one conveniently packs down to stow away inside of other bags for on-the-go use. The 10.5x21.5"...
