Polish Design Season: Polish design student Ryszard Rychlicki has designed a shopping bag made of folded recycled paper.
Called Lanana, the bag is designed for customers to take newly-bought clothing home in.
It can be stored flat and pulled into shape with a string between the bottom corners.
Rychlicki designed the bag as part of his architecture and design degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan.

How do you put stuff in it?
It looks pretty, but it’s completely impractical.
Lack of waterproofness is a major issue too. Absolutely bonkers.
Paper bags work far better and use less resources.
