Abstract
A retail product assembly includes a combination display “chip” and gift bag. A gift bag is folded into a generally flat configuration with a plurality of adjacent layers and is used as a replacement for a cardboard chip. Retail articles, such as a pair of slippers, are attached to the folded gift bag for display at a retail market. When a consumer purchases the pair of slippers, the slippers may be detached from the folded gift bag, and inserted into an interior of the gift bag, once unfolded and opened. The slippers may then be readily transported within the gift bag and presented as a gift.
