Lululemon Bags and Reusable Bag Branding
By David Lawson,Icegreen Inc.
Are you branding as well as Lululemon, the Vancouver-based maker of trendy yoga and running wear?
Lululemon bags are a great example of how smart for the environment can definitely mean smart for business too. You’d have to be pretty far removed from any media or pop culture references not to have heard of Vancouver’s Lululemon, the Canadian yoga wear phenomenon. Building environmentally sound practices into those remarkably successful branding strategies has included an extensive use of reusable bags.
The company has used a series of designs based around their iconic logo in various colours, including black and white and the red versions they’re perhaps best known for. Occasionally, they’ll also feature yoga inspired graphics.
Lululemon offers the reusable bags – which they call ‘shoppers’ – in a variety of sizes and formats, including shopping bags, gym bags and reusable lunch bags. Every shopper is offered a reusable bag, creating thousands of moving billboards that keep the brand name in the public eye.
The bags have become synonymous with Lululemon and in fact have developed a resale market all of their own, with ebay listings that typically range from $0.99 to $12 each.
It’s a highly effective strategy that puts their brand name in general public view and on consumer’s minds. It associates the brand with the kind of environmentally conscious lifestyle their customers identify with. The cost of the bags pays dividends when it comes to brand name recognition.
We have many potential customers contact us asking us to design a bag in the same size, and material specifications as the Lululemon bags.
Municipalities may or may not have an official ban on plastic bags, but the fact is that many consumers are already in the habit of using reusable shopping bags and savvy retailers understand that offering reusable bags makes good business sense.

• They’re taking your branded reusable shopping bag – and your name and logo – all over town
