Cast your mind back to sunnier days in June when I first told you about [1] a collaboration between kitsch designer Cath Kidston [2] and supermarket giant Tesco [3]. Well, the Summer bags have now sold out but there is another chance for you to get your hands on a a Kidston shopper at a bargain price.

The Christmas shopping bag is the 8th in the series. It is produced from recycled bottles and the strong fabric means an average shop would require 6 bags instead of 13 plastic carriers. You can of course re use this bag time and time again. They will retail for £3.50 with 50p of that going straight to Marie Curie Cancer Care. [4] The bags hit selected stores in December.
