Shopping bags are all the rage, every store sells their own (unattractive) version. It would be a timely status symbol to appear in the local market with such a smart recyclable shopping bag.

Thank you Oregon. For what I understand here in Chile plastic bags will be available til next year and then by law we must bring our own when shopping at the supermarket.Many years ago, cotton shopping bags were not an issue as it is now but for those that would love to bring a chilean souvenir anywhere, this is an awesome choice as well as a contribution to the world we live today.

Does that mean Jumbo, Lider, and all the stores that now provide plastic bags, won't be doing so in the future (next year)? I have noticed that on bags from Jumbo they have printed on the bag "Bolsa 100% oxo-biodegradble REUTILIZA - RECICLA - RENACE".

The bag design is amazing, if you still have them next september (or if i can talk my fiance into letting me use his bank account) i'd buy one for sure.
