Kendra Stanley takes old rain jackets and refashions them into grocery bags for her budding new company City Bag Trade City Bag Trade. A resident of San Francisco, her start up came at a perfect time, right when a city ordinance banned the use of plastic bags. Bag makers are experimenting with all sorts of bag materials, but recycling old rain jackets is a savvy way to use the lightweight material–and she is the first that I have seen to use the nylon coats.

Since starting City Bag Trade, Kendra has given away many bags as well as traded them. Stanley doesn’t charge a set price. Instead she asks customers either to send in a used rain jacket from which to make a bag or to negotiate a fee. She also offers instructions and a free downloadable pattern on her web site. She hopes to partner with local businesses, offering customized City Bags with store logos.
