Maybe You Don't Need a Boutique Handmade Trash Can

For just $99.95, you can buy a piece of our garbage history.

Anthropologie is selling a West Village Corrugated Can, which falls into the category of products that make an afterthought into a statement purchase, a whole thing. In most cities around the country—certainly any city where you’ll find an Anthropologie outlet—municipal authorities or apartment building owners provide residents with bins for recycling and trash. In the here and now, these bins are plastic. Even in the West Village.
