I'm not a plastic blog (part 2)

I've been following the Anya Hindmarch I'm not a plastic bag bag saga with interest. In the latest developments, it seems that a number of women were crushed as Hong Kong fashionistas fought it out for one of only 1600 of the prized cotton bags available on the island. As a result, the sale of original I'm not a plastic bag bags has been banned in mainland China, which is rather ironic, given that the bags are actually made there. Not to be denied, however, the up-and-coming fashion-conscious Beijingers are already making orders for genuine 'A grade', fake I'm not a plastic bag bags, which are reportedly identical to the originals. In a further insult, the demand for I'm not a plastic bag bags is so high that the fakes are actually more expensive, expecting to fetch about 9GBP compared with the 5GBP original.

I'm not a plastic blog...

I'm 100% organic, fairtrade, carbon-neutral, sustainable, recycled fluff.

If you want the rip-off, made-in-China-and-shipped-20,000-miles-to-the-UK, queue-outside-Sainsbury's-from-midnight-to-get-one-and-sold-in-a-plastic-carrier, Anya Hindmarch cotton bag, then you'll wanna go here.

Of course, you won't find one, unless you shell out 250GBP on eBay for it.
