Brit handbag designer Anya Hindmarch released her "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" bag last month -- and eco-friendly bargain hunters went "green" with envy.
Dozens lined up outside her Manhattan and L.A. shops, and the canvas tote (which can be used ... and reused ... for shopping, the gym, the beach) sold out in hours. It costs $15 -- several digits shy of the $300 to nearly $10,000 (for crocodile) her bags usually go for. She hopes to "make it fashionable not to use plastic bags," she says on anyahindmarch.com.
Now you've got a second chance -- the totes will be sold at Whole Foods Markets (Jericho, Manhasset, Manhattan) starting Wednesday. Better line up now.
This eco-chic bag has been toted by celebrites, such as Keira Knightley, Lily Allen, Reese Whitherspoon, and Petra Nemcova.

Is it ethical to buy a tote like this from a designer that sells crocodile skin for $10k???
