Having a reusable bag or bottle can spark a compliment from a stranger or a friend and can start up a really meaningful conversation or even the start of a new friendship!
Rock your cotton tote bags, reusable bottles, thrifted shoes and see who notices.
We were at The New Forest Show one year in the middle of a heat wave and were asked where we had got the ice in our drinks - it was still there from when we refilled our bottles at home in the morning. By the end of the day, the gentleman who asked had emailed us to tell us he had bought reusables for all of his team suffering in the heat at the show and that he would be getting rid of paper cups at the water filter at their base!
We sell lots of beautiful reusables in our New Milton shop - why not fall in love with one that you will want to carry everywhere with you on your plastic free journey?
