The Wildside Kiwi Beaut Shopping Bag is one of a range of reusable shopping bags created by NZ company Wildside.The Beaut Shopping Bags are nylon, printed with a New Zealand artist's painting, in this case a Bettina McCullogh painting of our beloved Kiwi bird. They have an elastic strap at the bottom so you can fold up your beaut bag into a small bundle and store it neatly in your hand bag or glove box.Each Beaut Bag measures (minus the handles) approximately 46cm (18") x 41cm (16 1/4"). A nice big size for carrying groceries, books, towels etc. And you can feel virtuous knowing that by using a reusable bag instead of a plastic bag, you're saving on petroleum usage (in making plastic bags), pollution, and helping to minimise the threat to sea creatures who inadvertently ingest the bags.Not to mention that these Beaut shopping bags are much cuter than plastic bags!
