Dear Scientists and Staff,

As the holidays approach, we’re excited to introduce a new addition to the ICTP shop that would make the perfect gift: the banner shopper bags.

These bags are made from upcycled banners, repurposing materials to reduce waste, and are produced by Lister, a local social cooperative that employs individuals with mental health challenges, reflecting ICTP’s commitment to both sustainability and social impact.

As you can see in the attached photo, each bag features vibrant, unique 'fireworks' patterns from the original ICTP banners that were used in our TriesteNext booth– no two bags are the same! Additionally, the bags are made from a water-resistant material, making them ideal for carrying laptops, books, groceries, or everyday items, even in rainy weather.

At just 15 EUR, the banner shopper bag is an eco-friendly and meaningful choice, making it an ideal gift for the holiday season.

Hurry, though – there are only a limited number of these bags available, so be sure to grab one before they’re gone!
