Why? A few days ago, while purusing the wonderful yet painful (I'll explain later) www, we observed that Green Chic Bag Co. had been Discovered! No contact had been made with us, as were previous media blurbs, it was just done -with a lot of magical fairy dust! Marjorie Skinner at the Portland Mercury MOD did more than a blurb, she really truly loved us.... and we felt the love! BTW, we know... not the greatest picture. We are trying to figure out this whole product picture thing :)

Accessories Green Chic Bag Co.
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Oct 28 at 12:12 PM
I'm as environmentally conscious as the next southeast Portland New Seasons shopper, but I can't fully resolve the whole reusable grocery bag thing, simply because I get so much darn use out of paper grocery bags, most notably as a vessel into which I empty out my cats' litter boxes. Still, if I had no cats (or maybe cats with a less prolific output) I would be all over it--as it stands I just don't take a bag unless I need one (I'm on a bike half the time anyway, and I have a huge purse I can wear messenger style), and I shovel cat poop into every single one that I do take. It was of course Anya Hindmarch who made the biggest splash with her "I Am Not A Plastic Bag" bag, and since then all sorts of options have popped up. If you want to take it to the next level of conscientious shopping, you should no doubt be buying your reusable grocery shopping bags from a local company, right? Enter Green Chic Bag Co., whose large, machine washable bags are sturdy enough to last a long time, and roomy enough to haul your haul (plus they also have produce bags). They come in a wide range of patterns, so you can pick something you like without having to tote around a dorky NPR or Whole Foods logo bag or whatever.
Thanks Marjorie!
