Not really a story. Those were sold by a supermarket chain, Kaiser‘s Tengelmann, to show their commitment to protecting the environment and counter use of plastic bags. The chain no longer exists.

A campaign by a supermarket chain that no longer exists (Tengelmann or Plus) to encourage customers to use cotton bags and reuse them instead of taking a plastic bag every time.

I have the same one!!
I’ve had it since ~~1998~~ oh, it was actually 1996! It’s a little grease-stained but I still use it.
Edit: Corrected the year!

In an attempt to reduce environmental impact and animal suffering, the Tengelmann chain banned frog legs and turtle soup from their shelves. This is why these animals kiss on the bag.

[A German Punk Band sold these](https://krasserstoff.com/products/team-scheisse-team-scheisse-totebag-sfr) do with that information as you please. Just wanted to share it
Can’t really help for the origin, but it reminds me of German punk-rock band Team Scheisse:
