They can create their own more permanent solution if they so desire. We tend to agree about letting people customize by re-using their own bags.

Also its a question of design taste: when sold without the bag everyone can tailor the product to match home decoration. For these reasons we find it a good idea to use bags that you already have and you can also put a nice textile bag to this frame, it doesn't have to be a paper bag! We would love to hear your comments on this issue.

But if someone uses reusable bags, they might be better off with permanent bins that don't require shopping bags... These are nice looking.
