marketing image2. Even if you can’t afford to get a bag custom-made just for the holidays, you could learn a lesson or two from how effectively the retailer Arhaus combines its primary products (furnishings) with an environmental message—a better world—discreetly on the bag.

marketing image3. The eco-bag from New York’s Museum of Modern Art is an excellent example of seamless marketing. The institution’s philosophy percolates all the way down to the bags which feature chic contemporary design.
