One of the hottest trends -- that's the word, like it or not -- in the country right now is BYOGB, "bringing your own grocery bags." It has gone so far that designers like Natthakur London have been driven to make handbags that resemble the carriers of our supermarket deliciousness. Check out this leather grocery bag with old-school stripes.

According to the website, it was voted Number 1 in the "50 Best Christmas Gifts for Women" in the Independent's "The Information", which kind of baffles us. It's a nice bag and all, but aren't there nicer ones for Mom or Wife-y or Sis? Like... Louis? Also, the £140.00 (approximately $250) price tag is nothing to sneeze at.

Yes, yes, we recognize the strangeness of the material choice; the environmentally-friendly tone that comes with BYOGB is overshadowed by the fact that it's not so cow-friendly. But who doesn't like a bit of irony with their aisle perusing?
