Clear backpacks are kind of menhera/yamikawaii to me. Just the principle of making something invisible visible, especially if you have meds, an inhaler, or some other type of medical or accessibility device. Putting those things where other people can see them so they Know is kind of like the visibility aspect of a physically disabled person using a mobility aid. It's there for you and your wellness first and foremost, but it inevitably sends a message of "this is what I'm dealing with, get over it."

Forgotten 2000s trend that I personally remember, but never see anyone else talking about: Jelly bags!!

I don't quite remember which year it was, but I want to say sixth grade, in which case it would have been 2001-2002. Latest would have been 2003, I think? Could have been seventh grade.

Anyway, they had an absolute moment at one point at the time! All of us had them all of a sudden lol! I had a white translucent one. It was my second ever handbag! (The first was a black leather Tommy Hilfiger bucket bag.)

I wish I knew what John Doe's canon burger order would be like.

The burger looks like a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato.

Transparency at Its Best: The Advantages of Clear Shopping Bags

Loyalty to a shopping establishment can often hinge on the little things. One such small yet significant factor is the type of shopping bag you provide your customers. In a world where sustainability has become a common and cherished goal, many retailers are steering away from packaging that once defined the shopping experience. However, there are times when a clear message needs to be showcased – quite literally. Clear shopping bags are making their way back into vogue, and it's not just because they have a timeless look. In this post, we'll explore why transparent shopping bags may be exactly what your business needs to stand out, and how being clear can up your customer satisfaction game.

The Aesthetics of Clarity

When you think of a clear shopping bag, the first thing that comes to mind is probably an image of the ubiquitous plastic bag that has been the hallmark of many shops over the decades. What they might lack in the eco-consciousness of their bulkier paper or fabric cousins, they make up for in just sheer, well, clarity. Clear bags present a uniquely ready canvas. A canvas not simply for the image of your store, but for the color and design of the products within.

Imagine the visual impact of a set of pastel beach towels, a rainbow assortment of candles, or a curated stack of books accentuating your storefront's crisp branding. A clear bag isn't just a carrier; it's a consumer product on its own. It showcases the thoughtful presentation of your store's interior on the go, subconsciously granting potential customers a glimpse of the quality and care your establishment is known for.

The Customer Experience

Trust and transparency are no longer just buzzwords. They're the pillars upon which a brand's reputation is built. Shoppers appreciate being kept in the loop. Clear bags offer a literal ‘window shopping’ experience long before a purchase is wrapped up. Customers can see exactly what they are carrying out of your store, building confidence in the value of their buy without needing to unpack it first.

This experience is particularly valued with foodstuffs, gift packages, and high-end retail. Clear bags allow the products inside to do the talking, and there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing exactly what you're getting right from the get-go. It fosters an open, honest relationship between shop and shopper, a customer service gesture that cannot be underestimated.

Practicality and Functionality

Clear shopping bags may also have the edge in terms of practicality. It’s a simple cruise through airport security without the need to repack, a swift find in a sea of groceries when the clock's ticking, and an easy separation of various purchases without the need for extra labeling for return items.

Aesthetics and customer experience aside, functionality is a vital aspect of any choice a retail business makes about their packaging. Clear bags are sturdy, flexible, and moisture-resistant, protecting the contents well while presenting them nicely. They’re perfect for showcasing seasonal or promotional products, offering a selling point even before they leave the store.

Environmental Questions

Of course, the elephant in the room when discussing clear shopping bags is the environmental impact of plastic. In recent years, there's been a significant push away from single-use plastics, with many jurisdictions around the world enacting bans or restrictions. However, not all plastic is created equal, and advancements in materials science mean that biodegradable and compostable options are becoming more common.

If you’re concerned about your store's carbon footprint, which you should be, the choice isn’t about ditching plastic entirely, but rather pivoting towards more sustainable alternatives. Many customers value stores that offer a 'green' option to accompany the standard bag, even if the clear bag is recycled or compostable. It may not be the entire solution, but it's a step in the right direction – and one that maintains the advantages of clear bags we’ve already outlined.

Versatility and Marketing Potential

Clear shopping bags are versatile in application. They suit the needs of a wide array of businesses, from grocery stores to boutiques. With the right design and customization, the transparent nature of these bags opens the door for various marketing opportunities. Brands can print their logos and marketing messages directly onto the bag, which not only serves as free advertising as customers carry them around town but also adds a touch of exclusivity to the customer’s shopping experience.

In the digital age, where every piece of marketing real estate counts, a well-designed, clear shopping bag can be a powerful tool. It's an organic, tangible extension of your brand that leaves a lasting impression. An elegant balance of form and function, a clear bag is not just a shopping tool, but part of a customer’s shopping experience – one they might choose to keep using long after they've made their purchases.

oh also look what my husband built for me

any guesses??

a yarn shelf!!! I suggested adding dowels on the sides for skeins, but he designed the rest, building it out of birch plywood, premade trim, and some oak scraps leftover from a job renovating a church.

I think this is my favorite thing that I own now.

the chances of alex running into lando in his own building 6 times a week is endless thx to a certain neighbor

Baby (my) first outsider POV fic, let’s go

The first time Alex runs into Lando, it’s as he waves his hand in the narrowing gap of the elevator door—risking his dominant appendage—to make it reopen for him.

“Lando?”

“…Alex.”

Alex enters the elevator, sure his surprise is written all over his face. “Why are you…?”

Lando shrugs and leans against the wall as the elevator begins to move. It’s so purposeful it’s anything but casual. “Just—“

Alex glances at the floor buttons as he realizes he never pressed his own. As he jams his finger into the “12” he notices the “15” already lit.

“Visiting Carlos?” Alex supplies.

“Uh yeah. Yeah.”

“We should all golf sometime,” Alex muses. “Can’t believe we’ve never, after all the years.”

Lando is nodding but has a strange, slightly tight look to his eyes. The elevator stops smoothly on floor 12.

“See you,” Alex tells Lando as he steps off. When he catches a look at Lando’s face before the doors shut, he’s viciously chewing his lip. Weird.

———

The second time, Alex is hurrying in from the street, back from breakfast with Lily, and running up to hi condo for his phone he somehow left on the kitchen counter, before he is headed back across town to meet Patrick for their workout. It’s a busy morning.

It’s why he doesn’t notice Lando sitting on the bench inside the doors, looking down at his own phone, until he turns around after entering the elevator.

“Lando?”

Lando’s head snaps upright and he is suddenly blushing, barely visible past the heavy tan he has from his recent trip to Greece. Alex has seen the Instagram carousel.

“Why are you…?”

Lando’s eyes flick around the building lobby. “I forgot my ke—Beat Carlos here. Waiting for him, to uh, get back from his bike ride.”

Alex has a hand on the sensor, keeping the elevator door open. It’s less of a risk to his appendage this time.

“How long? Is he far?” Alex almost invites him up, but remembers he was already supposed to be driving to the cross fit gym on the other side of the tunnel.

Lando pulls his bottom lip into his mouth and looks back down at his phone. “Should be fine, yeah.”

“To wait?”

Lando looks at the door and back to his phone. “Yeah, I’ll wait.”

———

The third time is on the way down.

Alex is up early, and popping down the street for a smoothie for breakfast before the photo shoot Williams has arranged—in Nice—for Carlos and him. It’s some sponsor thing they couldn’t be bothered to fly them to England for since it can all be shot on a paper backdrop set.

When the elevator dings open, Alex meets the bright, surprised eyes of Lando.

“Mate?”

“Alex… hey.”

Alex steps into the elevator. “You’re… up early.” He checks his watch to make sure he doesn’t have the time wrong, isn’t going to be late for the shoot. No, it’s 6:45, just like he thought. Enough time to stroll to the smoothie shop and get back upstairs to gather his things and look presentable before the shoot. He is in joggers, slides, and one of his own merch hoodies for now.

Lando looks nearly the same, but with Birkenstocks and his hood up. Under it, Alex can see the peak of his curls, messier than usual. Almost as messy as when he’s just taken of his balaclava.

“Why are you—“ Alex starts, but Lando steps on his tongue.

“LEFT MY… wallet at Carlos’s yesterday,” he almost yells, echoing off of the mirrored elevator walls. “Had to get it this morning, so like, yeah.”

Alex squints at Lando. “Okay. Yeah.” Lando is fussing with his hood, arranging and rearranging how it sits on his head.

When the elevator opens on the ground floor, Lando darts out of the elevator and towards the exit to the street. Alex follows slowly behind him, pondering. By the time he makes it into the fresh air, Lando is gone from view.

———

“Fancy seeing you here,” Alex chuckles when the elevator dings open on his floor and there stands Lando. It’s nearly 10 p.m. on a Thursday.

“HI,” Lando says, too loud. He’s in the corner, oversized beige sweatshirt on that hangs in a way the material has to be high quality. The hood is up again, keeping his face partially in shadow. There’s a shopping bag in his hands, that he’s worrying the handles of between his fingers. “You’re, like, going up?”

“I am, mate.” Alex steps into the elevator and turns to face the door so Lando is on his right. “Was actually going to the roof, supposed to be a super moon tonight. Hey, you should see it, come up with me!”

Lando shakes his head, and Alex turns to face him. He’s still fidgeting with the bag in his hands, the thin plastic barely concealing whatever small box is inside. The corners are pushing at the material, sharp against the bag Alex recognizes from the pharmacy on the corner. He’s studying the bag when Lando shifts it, and he realizes with a jolt that because of where Lando is holding it, Alex has been staring towards Lando’s dick. In fact, he has the bag almost perfectly centered over his crotch, almost purposef—Alex flicks his eyes up to Lando’s face.

He looks… odd; pupils big, lips bitten.

The doors ding open on Carlos’s floor and Lando steps forward.

“Rare opportunity, mate,” Alex tried again. “Super moon.”

“Sorry,” Lando says, barely turning his head back to be heard before swinging a left to head down the hall. The elevator doors shut behind him and Alex is left comically perplexed about why Lando is in such a rush to visit Carlos at such a late hour.

———

The next time, Lando is not alone.

“Well, well, well,” Alex sing songs as he steps off the elevator and into the lobby to see Carlos and Lando together, shopping bags on their arms and deer expressions on both of their faces. “If it isn’t the man, the myth, the legend.”

Carlos cracks a smile, but Alex thinks it’s very unlike the easy ones he’s been giving Alex ever since they became teammates. “Hi, mate.” He gives Alex a quick clap on the shoulder as Lando and him pass by to enter the elevator. Carlos pauses in the doorway. “See you Monday, for the flight, yes?”

“Absolutely,” Alex shoots back. Lando behind Carlos is inching towards the floor buttons as Carlos stands blocking the door, like this niceties and filler conversation needs to be had.

“Okay, I’ll see you then.” Carlos steps back, and Lando appears to grab him by the back of the hoodie to pull him fully into the elevator and let the door shut. Pulled him by the hoodie back. The hoodie. A beige hoodie. Like the one Lando had on when—

The pieces suddenly click into place for Alex.

Oh my god.
