I'm hanging on to a genuine Woolworths red and white carrier bag, circa 1997. I'm hoping one day it'll be worth a million.I did not know Woolworths was still going.

Give it to DT and it will be. He'll compare it to the first emperor's Jade underpants, saying that's what they were modeled on: the handles were were he put his legs and the bag itself 'acted' like a toilet.

You mean it's an investment piece to pass down to future generations? Well, in that case, I won't put the rubbish in it!Give it to DT and it will be.

I did not know that Country Road was owned by a different Woolworths! Going to have to give that some googling now to learn aboutWe have Woolies in Australia (formerly known as Safeway) and the South African company also called Woolworths took over one of our Iconic fashion brands, Country Road.
Yep, Woolworths Holdings, luxury goods merchant, is based in South Africa, and Woolworths Group has supermarkets across Australia and NZ, where you get your “Woolies worth”. No idea how/ if they were related at some point.I did not know that Country Road was owned by a different Woolworths! Going to have to give that some googling now to learn about
Reading online, it looks like they were not. And they were also not related to the British Woolworths we had over here. I remember moving to Australia and being surprised to see Woolworths alive and well, but yes, very different companyYep, Woolworths Holdings, luxury goods merchant, is based in South Africa, and Woolworths Group has supermarkets across Australia and NZ, where you get your “Woolies worth”.
