This humble household item is the new ‘it’ bag…

Ever dreamed of living in a world where buying an ‘it’ bag also meant you could pay your rent and not survive off a diet of reduced Itsu for the rest of the month? Well, the string shopping bags that your parents used to pack with groceries (and you occasionally used to transport dirty sports kit to and from school) is the latest must-have item. 

No, this is not a drill: it is, as fashion likes to say, ‘a thing’.
