Papier / Authentics
These Papier bags are made using strong, wear-resistant Tyvek®, which look so much like paper, instead of actual paper. What an unconventional bag! See more of this Munich designer Stefan Diez’ work here.

I just bought a handful of white ink pens and this is the exact type of project I had in mind for them - I love white on kraft paper! I could doodle all day with white ink! (photo via designsponge)
