Uncarriable Carrier Bag by Mother London

Posted by Alex in Advertising, Pictures on February 9, 2008 at 7:19 pm


UK ad agency Mother London is full of creative people (just check out their website, where you can search for employees by ..um, their "distinguishing features"). So when they wanted to create a self-promotional item, printing bags with their logos like everyone else just won’t do.

Instead, Mother London created a series of Uncarriable Carrier Bags: bags that you don’t want to be seen carrying around. And proving that reverse psychology (or lack of common sense) works in mysterious ways, people love them!

Thanks Rocco!

    If I saw one of those being carried around, I think I'd assume it wasn't for a real place. =p

    I would get a kick out of having the Infectious Disease Center one, though.

    ^Er, to clarify my first sentence: they're pretty obviously snarky (which is what makes them awesome; no reverse psychology needed).

    Their site tries to resize my browser, so I don't care what they're selling - FAIL.

    Mother were One Show winners in the self-promo category back in 2006 for those bags.
