As part of the “NOT IN NEW YORK” collaboration, Highsnobiety and XL EXTRALIGHT® are proud to unveil an exclusive shopping bag crafted from
XL EXTRALIGHT® foam, embodying the essence of New York City’s iconic takeaway culture. This innovative bag draws inspiration from the classic motifs and imagery synonymous with NYC beloved takeaway culture, reimagining the everyday object into a statement piece that merges functionality with cultural commentary.

Lightweight yet durable, the bag captures the spirit of the city on the go, mirroring the quick-paced lifestyle of New Yorkers who are always in motion. The use of XL EXTRALIGHT® foam not only ensures that the bag is easy to carry but also elevates it into a symbol of New York’s ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

This design serves as a playful homage to the familiar, instantly recognizable takeaway bags that have become an integral part of the city’s daily rhythm, while also pushing the boundaries of material innovation and cultural expression.

Every XL EXTRALIGHT®  formulation is heavy metal free, but also among the many different blends, it offers also a recycled and bio-attributed versions. So we are GRS and ISCC certified.

Carlo Vecchiola, Foam Design Product & Brand Manager: “I believe the product we developed together for NYN, shows another feature of XL EXTRALIGHT®. The Not in Paris fan was more a poetical message to our beloved lightness (a fan like a feather), instead the grocery bag, recalling the vibrant and fast life in the big apple, shows the strength of our material capable of carrying stuff around the city”.
