Bagging a record

Staff ReporterSwathi Shivanand

BANGALORE: Always cribbed about having too many shopping bags to carry? What if you could fit it all into one? Forum Mall, in association with lifestyle brand Nautica, made a shopping bag 21 ft. high, 33 ft. wide, 8 ft. deep and a handle 14 ft. high last September, in just five days. Two days ago, it was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest shopping bag. This means that the bag has broken the previous record of a 19 ft. high and 9 ft. wide shopping bag made in Germany.
