Drawstrings are always threaded and may or may not be removable (that depends on whether they are stitched in at some point or joined at the ends to make a continuous loop). Dustbin bags also come in a variety of shapes and forms. The expensive ones have "liens coulissants", which are threaded in a continuous loop. The cheaper ones with "liens" have a thin strip of plastic tape at the bottom, which you rip off to tie the bag. Of course, these are not a fashion statements and you would only wear them if desperate; however the linguistic principle seems to be the same. |
