Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 11:01AM An on-line clothing company in San Francisco has come out with the first ever bag designed specifically for shopping at famers markets. Called the Cornucopia Bag, it can be carried as a shoulder bag while you shop, and then covert to a backpack for the walk home.
It’s also constructed with several different stacked compartments which can keep your different purchases separate so heavier purchases—say a melon—don’t squash that loaf of bread. And it has a compartment for carrying cash.
But it is expensive. At $120, you’d want to take it everywhere, even the trips to your local grocer. It’s also roomy enough to store all your gym stuff and could even double as a briefcase or a book bag—or so they claim.
They are Betabrand, an online-only clothing company based in San Francisco that “releases limited batch, local designs each week.” Formerly known as Cordarounds, the makers of “horizontal corduroy pants” the renamed Betabrand says that all it’s products are made in San Francisco, except for the the Cornucopia, which they admit, is the only product they sell produced in China. So much for pure local.
It’s available on line at http://betabrand.com/
