Description Another from our new collection, a shoulder tote bag modelled on the old fashioned doctor's bag shape. Very colourful & has a funky red polyester inner lining!. all our tote bags are waterproof and made from re-cycled, re-enforced vinyl asian advertising banners, and are all lined internally. This tote has an additional inner pocket, and is stitched to the highest standards.
***These banners are collected and therefore not sent to the landfill!. They are then cleaned and sanitized ready for seaming*** Remember each bag is unique, no two are the same.

Wow!! I absoutly love it. It even makes me want to sell more banners. Now if someone could figure out how to recycle corex. I use it sometimes to cover where I don't want weeds then cover it up with beauty bark.

LOL John! . . . an' look, there's a use for a banner 'tote' to take your beach towel and stuff along . . . don't forget for a sturdy-banner recycle - stretch banner between two trees for napping after a long day of slip-n-slide . . .
Meanwhile, a nice wide/tall banner can become a shower curtain . . . if cutting and hemming is needed, save the scrap for a matching bathroom window curtain . . .
And all you campers out there, a coupl'a large banners would make a great tent! Stretch a rope between two trees and center the banner over the rope. Tie off the bottom grommets and crawl in the 'a-frame' (A tarp works, why not banners?) Gee, come to think of it, you could advertise your own business . . . nah - ya go camping to get away from customers, right? . . . )
But I'm inspired! Would'nt the totes be cute with grommets all around the top to create a draw-string style tote! Can't wait to see the matching banner-dresses . . . I mean, they already make dresses out of paper, and bottle caps and stuff . . . why not banners? It would be very shiny and 'mod'. Add big hair and some white go-go boots to complete the outfit.
Speaking of corex Alicia, that reminded me of some college guys who made actual furniture out of FED-X coroplast shipping boxes . . .

See, now they should have some of this stuff at the ISA Shows. Makes me wonder what they do with all the left over printed stuff from the show. They could even have a Fashion Show, complete with runway models.
