Anya Hindmarch I’m Not a Plastic Bag
Get ready for the U.S. version of Anya Hindmarch’s I’m Not a Plastic Bag bag. Bag Snob reports that the bag, which sold out within two hours of release in London, is available for pre-order now by calling one of the four Anya Hindmarch boutiques in the U.S. It will also be available for pre-order online at anyahindmarch.com beginning May 7. They will be in stores by June 20th. These environmentally friendly bags are a great alternative to plastic bags. With the recent push towards the banning of plastic bags it’s no surprise if the bag will be sold out in the U.S. as well. Not to mention, it’s really stylish. Fashionable gals like Keira Knightly, Lily Cole and Lily Allen have been spotted toting the bag. And at approximately $10 $15, it’s the cheapest designer bag ever!
Update: I called the Robertson Blvd store as soon as it opened today. Each bag is $15. There is a two per person limit. All pre-orders must be shipped, no exceptions. The shipping fee is $15. Bags will be shipped out by June 20. I can’t wait!

I think I may have to order one!
April 14th, 2007 at 11:36 am
thanks for the heads up! i just ordered mine. June 20 seems so far away though
April 21st, 2007 at 2:46 pm
I ordered mine the other day and they gave me the option to pick up…although I opted for the shipping b/c they said that only 10 people will be able to enter the store at a time and security will be monitoring the line.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
I live in England, UK…
Do you think I could call the boutiques and pre-order two, or as Im an overseas customer, would I have to wait til the internet pre-order form is put up?
Any idea anyone?
All help is appreciated!
Thank you!

They just released them in Sainsbury’s in the U.K. Or do you prefer the U.S. version? I tried calling to inquire about this but could not get a live person. Will let you know when I get word but if anyone knows, leave a comment please!
April 25th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
Thanks for the response – yeah, the ones in Sainsburys sold out nationwide in 5 mins this morning, and with my local store only having 30 to sell, and queues of over 100, was unable to get one… now the only way seems to be on eBay for at least £100/$200…
the US versions are BEAUTIFUL! Id love to get one.
Thanks again, you are super!

Hey ladies! I’m based in London(UK) and also find myself desperate for a ‘im not a plastic bag’ I called the New York store yesterday and was informed that they are no longer accpeting pre-orders and even if they did, they don’t allow any one outside the States to do so!
Does anyone know the policy of the internet list on the 7th of May? Would I be able to get one if I pre-register online? Also with the time difference would I have to go online at a certain time to ensure i get one? Would there be a limit? Price for packaging?
I know this is a ridiculous amount of questions but I’m aboslutley obsessed and determined to get one! I appreciate any anwsers any of mt fellow bag devotees can give me.
Lots of love Mel

I called two weeks ago and they had stopped accepting orders. I am so dissappointed! If anyone has an extra that they are willing to sell for a reasonable, not ebay, price let me know. I have been sewing my own grocery bags for a year now and would love to have this one that makes more of a statement. Thanks!

On May 2n, there was a special 100 limited edition for the US edition. I managed to pre-order one, and I live in Canada. I’m very happy, but the shipping was quite expensive…
Ron Herman stores online and in real life will be selling more. Fred Segal boutiques in LA as well.
Canadian shoppers should look out for Holt Renfrew as they will be the only retailer to carry them in Canada.
May 7th, 2007 at 3:24 am
It is may the 7th and i have still not received an email :S?
will it be later in the day?
i would appreciate help. thankyou
XO
shopdiary: I checked the website and saw this: “These limited edition bags will be available to pre order on our website towards the end of May”. There is no firm date yet. I will post it here when I find out.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Can’t stand the waiting any longer!!
Anyone heard any more news? (just to keep me going,lol)
shopdiary: RonHerman.com will be having 100 bags for pre-order on May 16 at 10 AM PST. Good luck and start clicking!
May 17th, 2007 at 1:05 am
I was on the edge of my seat all of yesterday waiting for the site to open to pre=order a bag. Went on, and as could have been predicted-I couldn’t get into site! I kept trying for 45minutes and eventually got a bag in my shopping cart. I was delighted! However, once I’ve entered my bank details, it wouldn’t let me go through to the final checkout and the site crashed!!
I tried in vain for the next 20minutes and eventually just got a ’sold out’ window popping up. Needless to say, I’m devastated.
Hope everyone else had better luck. xx
shopdiary: I did the same too but couldn’t get past entering my shipping info. I called them and they wouldn’t say but I believe there will be a similar event before June 20. Perhaps May 30? Stay tuned. But don’t forget that anyahindmarch.com will Have you registered with them yet?
May 18th, 2007 at 1:35 am
I have done, and I’m sitting on the edge of my seat! Thanks for all the info and help- I love this site
May 18th, 2007 at 5:31 am
Hi
I too was one of the unlucky ones on Wednesday, RH download the bag info at 6.30 instead of 6pm.
Anyho, thanks to other blogger sites i managed to leave my details with RH – melrose, and i hear that RH South Coast Plaza are doing a waiting list too.
The Lavender Trust have the version in lilac – £78 (inc p&p) for breast cancer awareness.
Lastly, there is the Anya Hindmarch website towards the end of May – but people are already phoning these stores ahead to leave their details.
Best of Luck to everyone trying to purchase just one bag.
May 21st, 2007 at 7:09 am
Hi there, does anyone have any idea where I could buy the pink Lavender Trust version of the bag? I wouldn’t mind paying the extra when its for a really good cause. Hopefully someone can help!
May 29th, 2007 at 2:30 am
Hi Nikki
Go to the The Lavender Trust site and click on contact us and leave a message someone will get back to you with the necessary details.
Also there is the last hope of the anya site towards the end of May – but no definite date has been set – bummer. With two days to go: no one has a crumb regarding the notification emails.
Best of luck everyone – i am still waiting until every avenue has been exhausted.
June 7th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
I think it is going to be hilarious to see who is actually carrying this bag. I think it is secretly making fun of people who would want it. It should say, I”m not a plastic, but I needed to have this bag like everyone else. Conformists rule. ha ha ha

Hi, would yoou deliver to Singapore?
I would like to order four totes.
Cheers,

^sorry, but i don’t sell them.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:34 am
I joined the mailing list.. oh ages ago and yesterday I was one of the ones selected to buy the bag! I actually got it but now I’m wondering.. how long shipping is going to take? I want it NOW!
June 26th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Its not in the cards for me to get one. Ron Herman called to get my credit number only to get a call telling me they made a mistake. Fred Segal Flair also took my name and assured me i could buy 2. When the date got closer i called again. She then said that the people on the wait list would only get a bag if there was any unsold bags. I told her that was ridiculous it would sell in a heart beat…anyway forget the bag…there are many reusable bags…..

sherilyn – the bag has no lining and the letters are sewed on, not painted or glued on.
