Retailers across Chorleywood are asking shoppers to wear their heart on their arm this season with an eco-friendly “I Love Chorleywood” bag.

The fairly traded and eco-friendly I Love Chorleywood eco-bags replicate the iconic “I Love NY” design and are made from sustainable crops, without the use of harmful chemicals.

If used instead of plastic bags, people can cut their carbon footprint considerably.

Sally and Eddie Clarke, shop owners of The Purple Hedgehog Gift Company Limited, said: "This bag really sums up our whole attitude to Chorleywood.

“As a retailer we love helping to improve Chorleywood’s environment and of course 'we love Chorleywood'."

Made by eco-brand Bag It Don’t Bin It, which also promotes a Keep It Cool philosophy, these environmentally-friendly bags are priced at just £2.99.
