I don't think carrying the bags is real...Hi Kelsey,<br />I don't think carrying the bags is really about being trendy as it is more about being eco friendly. It may depend on the city you are in though. In Seattle there is a huge percentage of people who really do care about the environment and want to be eco-friendly and don't care about the trend. But in some other cities where recycling isn't as popular or even really done I would think it would be considered more trendy. But then again are they even carrying re-usable bags? <br /><br />In Seattle there was going to be a fee for getting plastic and paper bags so people started getting ready for that but it seems now that will be going to a vote so the outcome is uncertain. However, it's definitely been a city where I have seen people bring their own bags to places for quite a long time. I can't actually say when it started though. <br /><br />I don't think it will go away anytime soon as it's actually nicer to bring your own bags. They seem to hold more and are much easier to carry. Plus a lot of places will give you a discount for using them so that is a nice incentive as well.<br /><br />We do have some great designer options around here though, so we get the option of being trendy and not having to carry boring ole bags. Tote2go.com is currently one of my favorites, I have 2 of her bags and love them! I have others if you need more designers names.<br /><br />If you need anymore info please shoot me an email and I'll do what I can to help ya out!<br /><br />Thanks!Tarah, Urban Fashion Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438457929089107841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071709596146043780.post-56254576691999225702009-04-20T10:52:00.000-07:002009-04-20T10:52:00.000-07:00Hello! My name is Kesley Zahn and I am a Journalis...Hello! My name is Kesley Zahn and I am a Journalism major at the University of Iowa. I'm currenty doing a story on resuable bags becoming a fashion trend for women and was wondering if you could help me with this. What do you know about the trend towards selling reusable bags as a fashion item? Is it because “going-green” is in? Or is it because it's “trendy?" <br /> <br />The following are my questions:<br />1. Why are people carrying these bags?<br />2. When do you think this trend started? Why?<br />3. Do you think this is a fad that will go away or a fashion item that’s here to stay?<br /> <br />Thank you for your time! I really appreciate it! I look forward to hearing from you soon! I'm working on a deadline so the moment you have a free chance, that would be helpful. Feel free to call me!<br /> <br />--<br />Kesley A.
