Official – Santa uses CQF Bags!

by Mike on Sunday 20th December, 2009

CQF Shopping BagWe were delighted to hear that Santa has decided to use CQF’s Jute shopping bags in place of more glitzy paper gift bags this Christmas.  At only £3 each or 2 for £5, they make an excellent present in themselves and are a practical way to wrap up your parcels.  “Being a good size and with a full rectangular base they stack very well in the back of the sleigh and the sturdy handles don’t break as you’re climbing down the chimney” said Santa.  Our bags are environmentally sound, fairly traded, carbon neutral and use natural materials instead of oil-based synthetics.
