Subaru Selling Shopping Bags Made From Leftover Airbag Fabric

The latest product from Subaru will cost you just 2,750 yen or about $20 at current exchange rates. You can take it to the mall but only to put your groceries in since it's a shopping bag. What's so special about it you might ask? It's made from leftover airbag material that was supposed to go into cars but never did. These white bags are available with either blue or pink accents and can be purchased from Subaru's online shop at home in Japan.

To make it happen, Subaru teamed up with Toyoda Gosei, a manufacturer of automotive components in which Toyota has a 43-percent share. Featuring reflective stripes on the handles to make them more visible at night, these bags are 21.6 inches (550 millimeters) long (including handle), 13.4 in (340 mm) wide, and 4.7 in (120 mm) deep.
