There is a huge demand for the trendy canvas bags from fashion designer Anya Hindmarch. The alottment of bags at the New York Whole Foods Store was sold out pretty much before it even arrived.

There have been near riots in relation to the sale of this bag. That’s just silly. It’s just a bag.

I talked about this flashy trend and suggested plain alternatives before. In between then and now, I saw a good middle ground. If you want to pay close to a hundred bucks for a really good canvas bag, check out the recycled sailcloth bags at Vat19.com. These bags are made from used sailcloth and an inside label indicates the type of craft and the region in which she sailed. There are two styles.
