If you hear eco-friendly bags headlining the news today, chances are you would consider this post as duplicate of another post somewhere else. But this eco-friendly bag of goodies is something else, approached more of a green business for two women from Caversham, Lisa Dawson and Deborah Hutchings, who owns Roostlife.

They have a broad range of bags made from materials such as melinine, jute and polypropylene. These bags are actually imported from France and sold on www.notonthehighstreet.com as well as some fairs and shopping events in the area.

Though based in Caversham, the two are targeting Henley as a town where eco-friendly bags and other products are becoming more popular.

In the long term they also hope to design future bags themselves.

“Cutting down on plastic bags is something people feel strongly about in Henley, so it is definitely one of the more environmentally-aware areas,” said Deborah.

“We had a stand at the late night shopping event last Christmas and we had a lot of interest, so we hope to run a similar stand at this year’s Henley Show.

“We also enjoy the design side, so that is something we hope we can do ourselves in the future.”
