Its kinda been done already in the form of those granny style pull around trolleys. For a new crowd who think they're eco? Is it made of wipe clean pvc? Equally as bad as plastic bags except the new bio-degradeable ones like at bodyshop. Shops need to learn a tough message provide carriers that are customer and environment friendly or better still get ur groceries delivered without bags. Reasonable idea again but unlikely to be remembered every shopping trip, and if pvc equally as bad as 100 shopping bags. Struggling to find the merits outweighing the flaws. Whats promoted as eco is more like a snobbish echo of the past.

@Claudia, ah, sue me - or my Brit-born grandfather, who handed down his vocabulary to his impressionable grandchildren, or my high school days in the north of England - I try for Americanism (except in matters of spelling) in the interests of clarity, but that early UK influence keeps shining on through!

@Emily, great idea - and also for organizing that miscellaneous stuff I keep pretending isn’t stashed all higgledy-piggledy under the guestroom bed!

It looks like it would also do a great job as a car trunk organizer...I've been looking for something to rein in the stuff that bounces around the cargo area of my car. How cool!

I love how different the English and American language is. I had visions of clanking, rail run trolleys running up and down the supermarket aisles. ;) Here, it's called a 'shopping caht'. HA! Great idea though, even pretty!!! “made to fit into supermarket trolley”
