Pocket string bag

These great little string bags are perfect to pop in your handbag as they fold into their own pocket, so don't get tangled up with your keys! They're produced by Turtle Bags* Ltd, a company that endeavours to encourage us to discontinue the use of plastic carrier bags. Why Turtle Bags? Leatherback turtles travel to UK waters searching for their favourite food - jellyfish. To a turtle, an upturned plastic bag looks just like a jellyfish; they try to eat them with fatal results. Do you need a better reason to use a string bag?

(Just in case you do, Bibi & Jules donates 50p for every bag sold to the Marine Conservation Society. For more information on their work with turtles, go to www.mcsuk.org )

*Turtle Bags have been the subject of a successful audit by WWF for ethical and environmental standards.
