Buy It! – The Istanbul Eats Bazaar Bag!

While these weekly markets present us with an excuse to venture out into parts of town we’d usually never visit, within minutes of any shopping excursion our fingers begin to ache as we collect plastic bags filled with produce.

Not anymore.

Together with artist Olga Alexopoulou, we have designed a roomy, stylish bazaar bag to take to the markets. The image, inspired by a day at the Tarlabaşı bazaar in Beyoğlu, also conveniently lists the different neighborhood markets around Istanbul and the days on which they are held. It is printed on 100% cotton, heavy-duty canvas that was recently field-tested comfortably with more than 12 kg of vegetables.

So say goodbye to all that plastic and bring a Bazaar Bag next time you head out to the market.

In case you didn’t know, Istanbul Eats now lives over at Culinary Backstreets. Same great culinary walks, same great culinary writing. You’ll be redirected there in a few seconds!
