# Hybrid Kitchen Gear The Cooky Bag is a Cooking Apron and Travel Bag Rolled into One By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cooky-bag References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/32745/) & [ilovetourismshop](http://www.ilovetourismshop.com/) The Cooky Bag is a pretty nifty [bag/apron hybrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bask-bag), and you can either store it in your kitchen or in the back of the car. Since some areas require retailers to charge for [grocery bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag), the Cooky bag is the perfect option when you're grocery shopping. The Cooky bag has many different pockets, and once emptied it transforms easily into an apron. I love the idea of the Cooky bag, not only for keeping clean, but for saving five cents the next time you hit up the grocery store. Very clever! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hybrid Kitchen Gear:** The Cooky Bag combines functionality and convenience, creating opportunities for other kitchen tools to be designed with multiple uses in mind. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the trend of hybrid kitchen gear by offering a range of multifunctional kitchen products that cater to the needs of busy consumers. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore the fusion of fashion and utility by creating more clothing items that can transform into functional accessories like the Cooky Bag. - **Sustainability:** The Cooky Bag's ability to serve as both a grocery bag and an apron promotes sustainable practices, creating opportunities for eco-friendly alternatives in the kitchenware industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [18-Pocket Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hop-bag-1.md) - [Dutch Oven-Themed Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-4.md) - [Absurdly Tiny Culinary Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knorrs-mini-bouillon-bag.md) - [Travel-Ready Toiletry Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-toiletry-bag1.md) - [Food Travel Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-go-collection.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md) - [Chic Modular Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/the-perfect-travel-bag) - [Self-Heating Messenger Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willtex-willcook.md) - [Sustainable Waterproof Cooking Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-cork-apron.md)
