Transitioning To Paper Bags

Added on by the ikebana shop.

From Sept 1st, 2020, the shop is officially using paper bags for your small (as in “not bulky”) purchases.

No Extra Charge For A Paper Bag
Reality is that paper bags are significantly more expensive than plastic bags. But we’ll provide paper bags, if necessary, at no charge…for now. We will see how this goes. If less people ask for bags, then we will still be able to provide the paper bags for free for those moments when you do need one.

Let’s Reduce!
We ask our customers to bring their own reusable bags whenever possible. We will not offer to bag your purchases unless you specifically ask us for a bag.

What About Bulky Purchases?
No worries. We will still have large plastic bags for items that will not fit in regular reusable bags. Yes, we know we have big plushies in the shop!

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
