Wife closed her business to spend time with her ill father, this has left us with 100's of 'premium' card packaging bags in boxes of various sizes.

I've dumped a few boxes worth at the recycling centre but it seems bit a of waste if they could be used as they good at packaging/carrying stuff ! The only problem is they are printed/branded with a now defunct company.

Any ideas? Free of charge to good or (bad home) !

Premium style thick card bags with ribbon tie and 'rope' handles - similiar to Jo Malone / Selfridges etc.
Fine to recycle but just seems bit of a shame as they are good for carryingi stuff!

Drac - pretty much that sort of style, printed on all sides with logo/address etc, various sizes from small jewelry 'pouches' to xl sized clothing bags.

Our local aircraft museum has a shop selling Airfix and other memorabilia. Last time we were in they were using surplus bags from a university open day. I reckon you could find something similar where they will use bags but not want to buy them in or care what they look like.
