No and I think its hilarious to think of it as a fashion item.
They are selling for hundreds on ebay apparently!

£5 for a permanent shopping bag!!
If buying alot of food are we supposed to fork out £50+ for bags!!

I saw this in the times today... they are selling like hotcakes.

I haven't got one, I already have 2 cloth bags for my little trips to the greengrocers and butchers. One I got for Christmas and is an RNLI one and the other I got from Berlin, and looks a bit funkier than the "I am not a plastic bag" bag :D

Nope - it's a pun on Rene Magritte's 'I am not a pipe' painting.:)

Haha wasn't it something from Comic relief where Sainsbury's stocked them? They sold out really quick and ever since there has been a hoo har about it! Strange really since Bags for life have been out and about for ages!!

Quite annoying too as i did a load at christmas for all my friends - put the presents in the bags instead of buying and wasting tonnes fo wrapping paper. Now i expect if i do more people will think i am copying!

I like these but because everyone wants them I don't want one anymore! I prefer Onya bags cos they fold up so small and clip to my handbag - or squeeze inside it! You have to buy them in lots but we did just that and gave them away for christmas pressies.
www.onyabags.co.uk. They are called Onya bags cos they are always on ya - get it!?
