Plastic Market Bag

Some people may feel a sense of nostalgia just from a random toy shape. In my childhood, there is a dim memory about something very similar to this. At a fruit shop located in the basement of a big general hospital, when we asked, “please make it a gift”, they put the various fruits in a plastic bag to make them look good. Brilliant colors like pink, yellow and emerald green highlighted the cheapness of the bag. Decades later, I encountered a French man shopping with this bag at Marche in Paris. On a cold winter day, covered up in a down jacket, with only a white plastic bag in his hand, I still cannot forget how that sight looked strangely stylish.
