S.H.O.P. Totes
From the grocery store to Beverly Hills, these bags are going to the Oscars.
Richmond, Va. -- Celebrities will use bags made by a Richmond company to carry their free swag from the Academy Awards.
During the days surrounding the Oscars, celebrities will have access to private rooms where jewelry, clothes, gadgets and luxury vacations are for the taking.
Those visiting The Secret Room Celebrity Gifting Suite in Beverly Hills will get bags called S.H.O.P. Totes made by Calypso Studios.
The bags are polyester bags that can hold up to 20 pounds and come in sets of three. Calypso markets them as an environmentally friendly alternative to using disposable plastic bags.
The letters in the name stand for Start Helping Our Planet.
And what Hollywood celeb doesn't want to do that?
