Paper or plastic? In light of the Alternate Use Material (AUM) Shopper, "neither" might be an even better answer. Breathing new life into old sailboat sails, this all-weather, all-purpose shopper transforms a distinctive yet durable material into a long-lasting, limited edition bag that retains the marks of its nautical origins.
Cut from sailcloth that would otherwise be discarded, its rich history is highlighted and reinforced by its functional form and strong, simple construction. Barely there when folded flat, its gusseted sides expand to accommodate produce, periodicals, and sundry potent potables, and its screenprinted design of edge-stabilizing ink allows for a strong, stitch-free handle. Whatever tack you take, each AUM Shopper is a unique chronicle of voyages past, and a perfect companion for adventures to come.
Please note that each AUM Shopper is made of recycled sailcloth, and as such, may display unique marks and colorations characteristic of its former life on the high seas.
