If you’re thinking, ‘Duh, Tote Bags’, then bingo! Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner! But let’s not get too bogged down by the status quo. The picture isn’t as bleak as it seems.

PENCO is Good For The Office, Holidays, and Home. Discuss.

  There  is generally a stigma attached to office work. Tedious, spiritually painful, long hours, and sometimes a long commute to a place you don’t even want to be. The 90s cult movie ‘Office Space’ encapsulates this malaise perfectly -and with humour - which is probably the only way to look at the absurdity of some office jobs.   Penco turns this idea of boring office supplies on its head and even makes you  - well, me anyway - want to get down and do some serious admin. The products really are that beautiful. Their remit is “casual office supplies”, an...

Forget Simon, Baggu Says: ‘Do The Right Thing’. We Obediently Comply.

In 2007, Emily Sugihara and her mama, Joan, founded Baggu in San Francisco. The Mother-Daughter duo wanted basic, fashionable, reusable bags to tote their everyday objects. At that time, the world hadn't yet realised the full catastrophic scale of environmental dire that the planet was facing, and there wasn't anything fashionable and on the market: so they created Baggu.  Let’s rifle back through the archives … In 1965 the plastic shopping bag was invented by a Swedish company. The slogan was “The Sack of the Future is Here Today.” Deadpan face emoji. No joke. By 1979, eighty percent of the...
