Why hasn't MAC started Reusable Shopping Bags?!

[vivaXglamlove]

Thats a great idea!
I use my sephora and mac bags to bring my lunch to school somedays haha

I think the closest thing to a reusable MAC bag is the Hello Kitty Plastic Tote Bag that MAC gave out with the Hello Kitty purchase, at least this is what I have been using it for. Whenever I go to MAC I take my Hello Kitty Bag.

Ummm, They did just release a reuseable shopping bag the free hello kitty tote I got a my pro store is made of the same stuff that whole foods makes theirs out of! I think MAC has already started that and now that they see how popular the Hello Kitty one was Im sure there will be more in future launches

great idea! i would love a reusable shopping bag. something cute and environmentally-friendly. puurfect!

 

[ClaireAvril]

uh.. yeah "we" believe the hello kitty bags were created because of our countless emails to MAC months ago..suggesting that they make re-usable bags.
Our prayers were answered and all of us who emailed MAC are taking the credit for it! LOL

 

[BloopBloop]

yup, i love my HK bag... i hated seeing all the small plastic mac bags floating around my room. theyre too small to use as a trash can liner, not good for anything much.

 

[Miss_Jackie]

The point isnt to have a cute mac bag its to save using and wasting plastic bags all together. I use reusable bags EVERYWHERE and I use a ikea one at whole foods etc. you dont have to use the bag that says walmart only at walmart. But I do think if mac had reusable bags it would get a lot more people who wouldnt normally use a reusable bag to do so.

also if you have the bags ladies from anywhere USE THEM! we only have one home planet to leave to our kids. ( End of my Environmental Science major side of me)

I have bags for Walmart and Publix, because I always go there. But places that I don't, I don't bother with the bags. I have a Sephora one because it's free and I never used it. And don't plan on it.

mac is giving away hello kitty totes with each hello kitty purchase. you can defnitely reuse them. i got 2 and gave them to my mom but i think going to a mac store with a mac tote is kind of tacky. the ones at sephora are really nice it has a cool design.

but back to your topic. mac should defintely consider eco products, im sure it will boost their sales. maybe recycled packaging or get a lippie if you bring in 20 bags lol haha im pushing it... i wish!

 

[BloopBloop]

maybe if they do a promotion with some kind of a special discount when bringing in your own bag. it doesnt even have to be a big discount, maybe a "tax is on us" or "10% off" thing. For this, really any kind of discount would work imo.

and i have NOT seen the reusable sephora bags. anyone have a pic of this?

 

[Bernadette]

Well ladies, e-mail the company and tell them how you feel!

 

[thespry]

Great idea! I use a little Lulu Lemon re-useable bag daily when taking my lunch to work.

 

[sierrao]

wouldent it be awsome if mac had a reusable bag and everytime you bring it in you get a certain percentage off your total purchase!

That would be VERY nice.

 

[MACPixie]

Even something like a few percent, or even to give, say a dollar off would be nice and would be a nice incentive.

 

[Kai322]

Great idea, I'd get one! As it is now, I just usually toss everything I get at mac into my ginormous cavern of a purse hehe

hummm I don't remember you replying to this thread.... remember you saying something about your ginormous carven.... yup!

I would buy a MAC canvas tote bag in a heart beat! There is at least one tote in every purse I own. So no matter what purse I use that day I always have one with me. Right now they are souvenir-type ones, like one from Berlin, one from Croatia. But a MAC one is sorely missing in my "collection".

 

[banana1234]

i'd be all over that like white on rice!! lol

 

[vintageroses]

haha I think this is gonna sound weird, but I like the MAC bags, esp the smalls ones because I use them to put my books in. I am a neat freak & I hate it when my books look even slightly less perfect. So I wrap them & also put them in the bags & pop them into my purse. HAHA so for now, I really like the mac bags! But I know where you are coming from! haha

 

[lemonwater84]

i was thinking about this the other day, i would love a reuseable mac bag. I do like their plastic bags (they're very durable) but I think it would be awesome to have a reuseable bag branded by mac

 

[sss215]

i say no to MAC bags when I am buying 1 thing, which is most of the time.

if i get a few items and brushes, i always get a bag. a resuable bag would be good. even better if they could find a technology to use those B2M items for them.
