    Pop Up Eco-Bag Shop

    by Julia Gash

    Apr

    We've just launched a Pop-Up Eco-Bag Shop in the Yorkshire town of South Elmsall.

    The shop, including a bag-art exhibition, runs for three weeks and residents of the town can also pick up a free "I Love South Elmsall" Eco-Bag.  The exhibition shows the diverse and creative use of eco-bags such as brand advertising, works of art, message boards and educational tools.  There is also a display on how eco-bags are made and printed.  Cloth eco-bags have become a lifestyle statement and as such are the new IT Bag! So get a free fix of contemporary culture at The Eco-Bag Shop, High Street, South Elmsall (they have a great market too!). Opening hours: Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat - 10 - 3pm.

    Bag It Don't Bin It Agree With Nick And Now It's In The Bag!

    by Administrator

    Apr

    In response to the recent, televised, Leaders Debate, which saw Gordon Brown and David Cameron in lots of agreement with Lib Dem leader, Nick Clegg, we have launched an I Agree With Nick Eco-Bag.  Available in Sunny Yellow and Classic Black, the fairly-traded, cotton Eco-Bags are on sale in Nick's constituency at The Design Studio, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield, priced at £4.00.

    We make fairly traded, cloth, eco-bags, which we hand print at our Eco-Print Factory in the old industrial heartland of Sheffield, just on Nick Clegg’s doorstep. 

    So, like David and Gordon, I decided to show my support for Nick in the best way I know how, by printing it on a bag.  Eco-Bags are very much the new “IT” bag, seen on the shoulder of every self-respecting fashionista, who willingly acts as a walking billboard for the latest brand advertising or political campaign. 

    The question remains is will Nick’s stylish, wife Miriam be seen sporting a Bag It Don’t Bin It “I Agree With Nick” Eco-Bag this season?  And will Sam Cam and Sarah Brown be joining her or will it be Eco-Bags at dawn? 

    Contact us to buy an I Agree With Nick Eco-Bag in Sunny Yellow or Classic Black, £5.00, delivered to your door, within 5 days.

    Made in Sheffield Mark for Bag It Don't Bin It

    by Administrator

    Apr

    Bag It Don't Bin It has been awarded the prestigious Made In Sheffield Mark in recognition of our high quality, innovative printing and manufacturing excellence. 

    Sheffield has a long and proud history as a producer city. It became famous for products within the steel industry and with a cutting edge, which have been made in the areas surrounding Sheffield for a very long time. 

    Driven by an eco-ethical philosophy, Bag It Don't Bin It is very much a forward-thinking, 21st Century business.  But our adherence to old fashioned, manufacturing principles, as exemplified by our highly skilled, Master Printers at our Eco-Print Factory in the city, ensures that we are shaped by, and are part of, Sheffield's industrial heritage.
