Banner to Bag Program by Common Thread

When those bright and beautiful street banners have served their usefulness in your community, give them eternal life by turning them into carrying bags. Each piece is hand sewn by experienced seamstresses at Common Thread Cooperative.

Some municipalities sell their street banners as collectors’ items, why not turn those banners into bags?

Virtually indestructible, they could replace thousands of plastic bags in a lifetime. A neat and green idea! Banner bags are strong, washable and fold into a small package that fits into your pocket or purse.

A great way to "re-purpose" your street banners

Press Release: An exciting new partnership between The Flag Shop and Common Thread
