Cute Convenience. Tili Bags - Patterned & Colored Zip & Seal Baggies.

Let's face it, we can't all carry politically correct, eco-friendly hemp bags with us at all times, especially when toting around make-up, snacks, liquids, perishables and potentially messy items, like nail polish, sandwiches and sunscreen. Sometimes a plastic bag is truly the most convenient. But does it have to be clear and ugly? Apparently not.





Tili (an acronym for Take It or Leave It) bags are FDA approved PABA-free re-usable zip and seal bags in 2 sizes- quart and gallon, three chic patterns and colorways. Each box of Tili bags contains 12 bags -- 4 of each of the 3 patterns.



Collection II is coming soon, in the meantime, you can purchase the bags shown above here.

A special shout-out to Ellen Knable for bringing these to my attention.

Doggy Style. Picking Up Poo With Aplomb.

The ultimate gift for cosmopolitan dog lovers. Dog poo bags, designed by jungeschachtel, are the most stylish, hygienic and environmentally friendly way to pick up that stinky stuff your canine leaves behind.




The packaging is beautiful, both the box in which the bags are packaged as well as the individual bags:



Each box contains 16 bags, two of each design shown below:



super easy to use, the bags are 100% biodegradable:


The idea for dog poo bags was born out of their passion for dogs and design. The daily walks with Cuno, the agency's dog (shown in the picture at the top of the post), served as a source of inspiration.



Dog poo bags are sold on designspray or directly from jungeschachtel here.
