I'm with buggie, I bought two fold-up Sainsburys bags at the weekend, they are excellent. I reckon it's better to pay a bit more (the Sainsburys ones are 75p, but I guess that is with huge economies of scale, and maybe subsidised too) for something that lasts longer. Don't know how easy these would be to source, but they really are a practical solution...

Mighty the bags will be free not sold.Southwark will hopefully pay through the recycling scheme they have.They have already provided bags for nunhead and our neighbours in dulwich.We are using the same cloth bag company that southwark have used before,so hopefully they can negotiate a better deal for us.It will have the East Dulwich logo on it and it looks like at the moment that the gusset bag may be the choice bag.Please guys get all the edfites to vote asap because i need to speak to the company on friday and send the application in,with quotes.

Has that black 'Janus' bag got a gusset? If so, that looks pretty good to me (not as good as a fold-out, but probably still fit for purpose)

Me also

[mamafeelgood]

long handles and cotton, always a must, you can put it over shoulder and chuck it in the wash ... that's my vote.

[lorraineliyanage]

Another vote for cotton and long handles please! Who's designing the bag?

[monica]

Supreme creations who are ethical and deal with southwark currently.Their website is on my first post

[lorraineliyanage]

we should have a competition for forum users to design the bag!

[monica]

Good idea lorraine,designs at the back of a postcard.

[mamafeelgood]

does that have to be a forum postcard to qualify ..?

[monica]

lo yes lorraine,only joking up to you.If you look at the other cloth bag thread the discussion as focused on the design of the bag and clare who is a teacher said she will help get her school kids involved.

[monica]

Cupcake and susan i am going to organise a meet with clare,il pm you the details and try to liase for a suitable date,is that ok?Anyone else who wants to participate,let either susan,cupcake or clare know.

Thanks
