This week's item: Big style comes in small packages.
An expandable bag used to be relegated to a suitcase corner for a lightweight beach tote, going overboard on souvenirs or for bringing home all those brochures and magazines from the convention center. 
But in these days of enforced eco-friendliness, when grocers offer a discount to bring your own, and municipalities are banning or taxing plastic, it makes sense to keep a sack of some sort handy at all times. But how can your customers save the planet while maintaining the style cred you’ve been working so hard to build? Stock the Lacoste Croc Pocket series. Available in five styles and four tasteful colors; each bag zips into itself, folding down to a 6” x 7/5” rectangle. Suggested retail $65 to $70. For more info, call (212) 888-7442.
Each week, MR’s editors will comment on a product we’ve seen in the market. It could be an emerging trend, a novel take on a classic or something that just caught our eyes.
