Return of the Kiondos : Plastic Bags Ban in Kenya
Back in the day, our grandparents used sisal bags as their go-to bags. Fast forward to 2017 and they are back with a bang!
The Kenyan government recently announced that it will implement a national ban on plastic bags by August 28 2017. The ban will apply to two categories of bags: the carrier bag, a “bag constructed with handles, and with or without gussets,” and the flat bag, a “bag constructed without handles, and with or without gussets.”
Its about that time you raid your grandparents house and visit Maasai market looking for these bags because the 6 month grace period ends in a few days.
They will probably look something like this:
Lesso bags
……Last but not least you can also opt to get your own custom-made MumsVillage tote bag.
Not only will we embrace the ‘kiondo fashion’ but we will also support local businesses. Get your kiondos ready before leaving the house!
