When plastic bags were banned in cities like Hong Kong, Melbourne, San Francisco & Kampala we took the opportunity to develop a foldable shopping bag as an environmentally friendly alternative Together with NAWOU (National Association of Organizations in Uganda), I developed with womens groups new products through participatory design processes and sustainable product development, which enables the women to continue the creative methods without external support in the future
Unzip, pull out the bag & get ready for shopping
Nothing like a leopard loaded with fresh pineapple
Practical, functional & aesthetical
BAG 5 is a collection of bags, one for each of the 5 big animals the tourists visit Africa to experience and can be bought from NAWOUs web page : http://www.nawouganda.org/ Read all about Design without Borders : http://www.norskform.no/
