Buying the New Yorker 1986 - page 1

From the "History" section of the Bloomingdale's website:

In 1961, the Bloomingdale's team came up with the first designer shopping bags. Since then, many have become collector's items.

And here's a look at some of them:


The standard is the "Little Brown Bag" (also available in Medium and Large). These aren't paper shopping bags, but reasonably hearty vinyl. You can order a standard one ($18 plus S&H) from Bloomie's online store here. Want one with a spiffy limited edition print? There's a few on e-Bay. Good luck.
