Totes Cute!: Kaight Promotes a B.Y.O.Bag Policy

By Marjon Carlos

The deluge of shopping bags we've crammed into every nook, cranny, and otherwise free space in our homes? We're all guilty of committing this crime—it simply comes with the territory when you are as serious about fashion and shopping as we are. But when you're serious about effecting change, both in your closet and environment, that mass can become wasteful and unnecessary. Which is why our stylishly green friends over at Kaight, the eco-conscious boutique located in the Lower East Side, has devised a plan to save the world and your wallet. Kaight is offering its customers 10% off their purchases upon refusal of their shopping bags: instead, bring your own reusable tote from home to cut down on waste! You can pack your newly purchased Edun tops and Linda Loudermilk dresses into your tried-and-true sack, and be about the business of saving the world. Rinse and repeat—it's a beautiful thing.

Kaight is located at 83 Orchard Street, New York, 212-680-5630; www.kaightshop.com
