To pay upwards of £100 for a plastic bag can be inconceivable to some, but for others, owning such an item can take them back to a period in their lives that they cherish."

This bag is a reminder of that piece of time and the history is why the carrier bag is worth so much money. In 1899 the Jones Brothers store was opened on Holloway Road which was later purchased by the John Lewis Partnership in 1940, it then closed its doors in 1990.
