Little Brown Bag - Rant


I have to say, these ‘Little Brown Bags’ are absolutely hideous sweeties. They are neither unique or attractive, let’s look at the facts:

  • They come in shiny plastic with a ‘barf-bag‘ option
  • They are varying shades of pooh-brown
  • They are too small to effectively do anything with
  • Definitely too small to carry your lunch in
  • Going the same way as the Burberry check (suffering from over-saturation amongst the wrong clientele)

Redeeming features:

  • Waterproof in case of storms, hurricanes and torrential downpours
  • Handy size for scooping up dog poop (and the same colour)
  • Environmentally friendly in the brown paper version
  • Great gift for someone you hate
  • Various sizes - you might want to get ‘Medium Brown Bag’ to use as a dustbin

That’s all there is to say. I know I would much rather have an actual black bin bag to carry my lunch in, ‘Big Black Bag’? Or better still, one of these babies which are really rocking my world at the moment - armed and dangerous and super-cool from Guardian Angel.

  1. OH! I love those Guardian Angel bags. They also sell them in Brazen in Merchant City, Glasgow, where I believe you will soon have a Cotton Candy collection too?

    Time for a rethink methinks……as you are my style guru I will now NOT be purchasing one of these bags. Your points against are eloquently made and I will forever think of them now as “barf bags”.

    Plus I’m just happy that I’ve managed to inspire one of your blogs my dearest Penelope.

    Ciao for now. K xxxx :)
