Chez Pim has a fashionable way to help the environment...

A while ago I wrote a post making fun of the global scramble to get one of those Anya Hindmarch's limited edition 'I am not a plastic bag' bags.

I am one of those who would rather be in pain with nice shoes on, than wear flats that make my legs look like thick pegs.
