Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
City Bag Trade

Location:   Makers Market   

How do you combine fashion, practicality, and sustainability into one product? You recycle old rain jackets into grocery bags!

Welcome to the next evolution in social responsibility through environmentally safe and friendly alternatives to plastic.

My intentions are to increase awareness around the use and waste of common, plastic grocery store bags, and to hopefully change our old bag habits.

About the Maker(s)

Kendra Stanley I started City Bag Trade over a year ago in response to the plastic bag ban. I grew up sewing. I want to try and make the community around us better, while being creative and using my hands.
