The reusable bag collector's paradoxSourced
A bag meant to reduce waste became something people collect.
Baggu launched reusable bags in the US in 2007. Limited designs and collaborations later attracted collectors. Critics say buying many of them can undercut the original aim of consuming less, even while each bag remains reusable.
Using one repeatedly and buying many are different habits.
