Gecko Bag Collective plans to kick plastic bags out of town by bringing convenience and creativity to the reusable bag on a local level. Ever forget your shopping bags at home? Easy, buy a Gecko Bag at the store and return it for a refund. That's the idea, but we need your help sewing bags! You’re invited to sew a bag with the Gecko Collective. Donate your bag or a gold coin if you wish to take yours home. No experience required. We’ll supply the fabric and the sewing machines (or bring your own).

This event is part of EcoWest Festival. See the rest of the Festival programme at www.ecowest.org.nz.
