More Product Details
Dimensions
15"W x 11"H x 6.25"D
24.5" long handles (11.5" loop)

Design & Functionality
Great looking and built to last, these long-handled totes stand on their own for easy packing and fold flat for convenient storage. Super-strong, they're an ideal replacement for paper and plastic shopping bags. The outer pocket is perfect for coupons, grocery lists or other small items. Also makes a great beach bag or carry on luggage.

Materials
The bags are made by taking old grain sacks and plastic water bottles, grinding them up, heating them into a type of thread, which is then woven to create a super-strong 95% post-consumer recycled polypropylene material. Only the handle, zipper and film required to screen the design are not made from recycled materials.

Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from post-consumer recycled materials promotes a more sustainable path for landfill-bound waste.

About Blue Q
Brothers Mitch and Seth Nash founded Blue Q in 1988 and still own it today. For the past 15 years, the company has also been the largest local private employer of individuals with disabilities, who make up one quarter of the Blue Q workforce. The company has a close working relationship with the family-owned company in China that makes their bags. Any factories Blue Q partners with must pass rigorous inspections to ensure they meet high, ethical standards for employee care, product quality, and environmental responsibility.

Blue Q donates 1% of the sales of their bags and water bottles to the Nature Conservancy to help support global green initiatives. They are committed to a donation of at least $100,000 by April 19, 2013. See Nature.org for more information on their programs.

Care Instructions

4.0 Lovely bags

Comments about Product:

These bags are beautiful - even more so in real life than in the pictures, if possible. The designs are great, the colours are very vivid and the material is slightly shiny, which brings the colours out even more. Plus, they have nice long straps which are very comfortable when carrying them on your shoulders, and a handy pocket on the side, and the zipper closure is useful in bad weather, or when carrying small things you want to make sure don't fall out.



The material was thinner than I expected from the description, and feels a bit flimsy - that's really my only reservation about them. But it may be more durable than it feels like. Only time will tell, I guess. Anyway, they're certainly by far the prettiest reusable bags I've seen yet.

5.0 Love This Bag!!!

Comments about Product:

I love this bag, hands down. I use it as a diaper bag. If anything spills, you just wipe it away, no worries. It is so durable, keeps its shape and I love the look and that it zips close. I want to get another one as my pool/beach bag, since you don't have to worry about moisture. It is such a great size and so adorable!!

5.0 Great Bags

Comments about Product:

I love these bags!! I have been using them for at least a year every week for grocery shopping. They hold a great deal, and I have not had any issues with tearing or fallowing apart. My favorite thing about them is the zipper. On a rainy day my groceries stay dry and nothing falls out in the car on the way home.

4.0 Nice bags

Comments about Product:

They are nice looking, a bit smaller than I expected, but large enough. One of my bags started splitting an upper seam, nothing that a bit of well placed duct tape couldn't handle. Overall I am satisfied

5.0 Great Bags for the car!

Comments about Product:

These bags have zippers on the top, so they are great for caring other shopping bags in the car on on the bike. Nothing falls out! My grandchildren love putting stuff in them and taking them with us. Again, the zipper keeps the stuff in and the other stuff (bugs, leaves, lizards) out!

3.0 Unsure about this one

Comments about Product:

I bought this along with a few other types (see reviews) and I felt that it wasn't very durable-the material felt "plasticy". I didn't use it, so don't take my word that it is not durable-it may well be.



I just FELT compared to the other types I had at my disposal (pun intended) that this wasn't worth the money. However, since I love what these brands and site stand for, I passed it along to my sister. Unsure if she has used it yet.

3.0 Flimsier than expected

Comments about Product:

I gave 3 of these as gifts and kept one for myself. Thank goodness the straps wrap around the bottom of the tote, because the material does not seem very strong. I wouldn't trust it with a very heavy load. At least it's pretty.
