Heading to the farmers’ market? Remember last time when your arm went numb, laden with a heavy bag filled with your bountiful purchases? I’ve often pondered the dilemma facing market shoppers – particularly my own frustration regarding “the bag” issue. One way or another, I don’t bring enough bags or the ones I’ve brought are not the right kind, and I end up stumbling around, dropping produce and my wallet or over-using the plastic ones they provide (assuming they’re provided).
It seems I’m not alone. Dubbed the “World’s First Farmer’s Market Backpack,” the Cornucopia Bag by Betabrands in San Francisco has been designed just for this purpose. The backpack includes numerous compartments for separating items, as well as a strap to easily hold it from the top. It has a money pocket as well as a laptop sleeve for multi-functional use. The bag is only available online and sells for $120. Additional information along with videos can be found on the Betabrands website.
By the way, that’s not all. Check out their other products, such as the Karate Casual Pants, Sons of Britches, and Gluttony Pants. I haven’t had the opportunity to try out any of these lovely items yet myself, but you have to hand it to Betabrands – they’re abuzz with creative energies.
