where can i buy these?

Can anyone please tell me where I can buy these twines?

twine

They remind me of the red & white twine carrier on the letter-pressed printed paper bags during my childhood.  I wonder why the retailers don’t make paper bags like these anymore. Aren’t they better than plastics?  I am obsessing over kraft papers now and if I can get these colourful twines, I can make paper bags like the old days, minus the printing 😉 I have been on the lookout for mothers day gifts and would like to use these twines to decorate the presents that I plan to wrap with kraft paper.  Appreciate if you could let me know.  Thanks a bunch.

    Paper bags are more expensive I reckon, plastic bags apparently save more budget!^^

    No idea… perhaps you should Google and shop online!
