In selecting a material for the trim for her new anti-plastic-waste bag, designer Anya Hindmarch said she chose leather because the alternatives contain high-levels of polyurethane.

The latest creation from the renowned bag designer’s eponymous brand is the I’m a Plastic Bag bag, which is woven from a yarn made of plastic bottles. Each bag is made from a cotton canvas-feel fabric that is created from 32 half litre recycled plastic bottles, then coated with recycled windscreens.
