My Very Own Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” bag
Yesterday my friend surprised me with a gift. It was the much coveted Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” bag! She had gone to Villa Moda Mubarakiya and found many of them there that she snatched them up for her friends. I was one of the lucky ones!
I think the bag is cute but I don’t understand the whole fuss that’s being made over it in the UK and the US. It’s sold out everywhere! Many people are buying them and then selling them on E-bay for outrageous prices. Just do a search on it and check out the bids! A smart person would buy out the ones in Villa Moda and sell them on E-bay. I thought about it but figured it wasn’t worth the hassle of setting up an E-bay account and sorting out the shipping.
As far as prices go, in the UK it sells for 5 pounds but the US has theirs priced at $15. Villa Moda are selling them for KD5. That’s around the same price as the US.

I got my X-BF to go to Villa Moda last night and get me 3 of them; one for my friend, one for me and one for his sister.
He didn’t get what all the fuss was about and I had to explain to him hahahhaha
They are totally sold out throughout the UK and will no longer make any. Villa Moda bought some of the UK batch, maybe thats why ;p
Anyway, I like the bag, it’s cuuuuute! Can’t wait til I get it Aramex’d to meeee

Thanks Zahra
I’m glad you liked my blog (like wise). And I actually did buy 20 for my sister, relatives, and friends. They loved it (well.. almost all of them). I even mentioned it on bagsnob.com but they thought it was fishy and that I was making that up..

Ananyah haha that’s great! Take a picture of it when you get it and we can have matching posts!
Franchiska q8iya welcome to my site and thank you for your kind words. Please let me know if you want me to cover a certain topic
Confashion that’s so generous of you. I’m glad they (almost all of them) appreciated it haha. Point bagsnob to my post and maybe they’ll start believing you especially if you post pictures of the bag as well!

hope it helps.

Dear Monica,
That’s great news!
Can you let me know how much they were each and also what the delivery costs were.
I tried ringing this morning but they weren’t open (will need to work out the time difference).
Many thanks
Jacqui

Hi Jacqui
Waiting for email back from Maryann (manager). They are 2 hours ahead. You need to keep calling because sometimes they are engaged and sometimes they just don’t answer. But if you get through, ask to speak to Maryann.
As mentioned earlier on this site, they cost KD5 (about £8) as for shipping not sure yet. But remember you need to think about customs tax if package is worth over £18. So if you want to order more than say 2 or 3 then do a few separate orders.
I ll post back as soon as I hear back from her.
