Introduced in 2003, our innovative reuseit™ Workhorse replaces thousands of disposable plastic bags with each one. Its unique design - based on the classic plastic shopping bag - proved to be a customer favorite, and paved the way for ultra compact bags from companies like Baggu, Flip & Tumble and ChicoBag.
Part of our ongoing mission is to incorporate truly sustainable fabrics into our reuseit™ line, from our new Eco Circle Workhorse to our Silicone Shopping Set.
Another great product from our award winning reuseit™ line (formerly Acme Bags).

Design & Functionality
The reuseit™ Workhorse 1500 has a truly innovative feature - it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures only 2" x 4" x 2", easily fitting into the palm of your hand and small enough to stash in a purse or pocket so you will always have one handy. Plus, it is impossible to lose the storage pouch since it's attached to the bag. Weighing in at only 1.5 ounces, these lightweights perform like champs. Each bag opens into a heavy-duty, water- and mildew-resistant 21"x 16" x 6" sack and holds up to 25 lbs. With this bag, you may never have to take a plastic shopping bag again.

I bought these bags to be part of their Christmas gifts. The bags are a beautiful color and are well made. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The James Bond of reusable bags
I love this bag when i'm going for a few items. It conceals nicely in the pocket and will hold a lot of weight. I use it in conjunction with the Heavy Duty XL Hemp Tote that I also purchased here. Good combination.

Helpful lil bag. I store it in my purse for occasions where i need it to carry something. You never know when that will happen. I love that it folds up so easily and compact. A pretty shiny red as well.

Really like
I have been using the bags for a couple of weeks and love them! They are very compact and easy to re-fold.

Very practical & convenient
Very practical and convenient. Small enough to put it in really every pocket, but sturdy enough to hold one large paper-bag's content worth. Got this as a freebie for my Father's Day order and couldn't be happier. Especially the handles are well designed. With these kind of fold-able bags that's often a weak-spot (too narrow and so they "cut" into your hand), not with this one - the handles are pretty wide, so the bag is very easy to carry and even with heavy content it won't feel awkward in your hand.

I keep one of these in my purse and use it all the time. It folds up so small, but still holds more than you'd expect.

compact
I gave this one to a friend to encourage her to carry her own reusable bags to the market. She now carries this compact bag in her purse for the unexpected stop at the grocery store and loves it.

Excellent all-around reusable bag!

I purchased this bag to be specifically used for places like the mall. I chose the black Workhorse bag because as a guy it folds up small enough to carry in your pocket and is inconspicuous as you carry your purchases around in it. One trip to the mall and you could easily find yourself with 4 or 5 different bags that upon returning to your house have little to no use after the fact. The workhorse bag is a wonderful and environmentally friendly substitute for this exact situation. It is washable and holds a useful amount of purchases. Anyone who buys this bag will NOT be disappointed!

Better than Plastic!
I ordered 4 different bags and I love all of them. The Pack'n'tote insulated bag has been a lifesaver for my cold items during the heat of summer. The straps are long enough that I can carry it on my shoulder and still have both hands to get other items. The workhorse bags are wonderful too. They can hold a lot and the straps are wider so you can carry them on your arm and they won't cut into your skin like plastic will. I am well please with all of the bags that I orderd and can't believe I didn't get some sooner.

Love Them!!
These reusable bags are the best. They open and close in a snap. They're light weight, durable and they fold up so small that I just throw them in my purse and I never have to use plastic shopping bags!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this bag, and after using it I am in LOVE with it! It fits perfectly in my pocket or in my purse and holds everything I need at the checkout. I love the fact it folds down into such a small size and yet it is a strong, durable bag. I am new to reusablebags.com and will be back again.

Very useful
I have a number of these and have given some as gifts. I keep one in my purse, another in the camera case...They fold so nice & small that it is a no-brainer to always have one handy. Have not had them too long, so longevity and keeping clean are not issues I can weigh in on.

Nice bag
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
The Acme Workhorse bag overall is very nice, however, the handles could be improved in that they feel "tight". I would like to see the handles a little more open and roomier. Other than that, I like it.

We ordered the refoldable ACME Workhorse bags and had them silkscreened with the local preschool's logo. They look so great and are being sold to parents, family and friends to help reduce the cost of the Spring field trips. What a wonderful product!

BEST Light, Compact, and Durable bag!
3 out of 3 customers found this review helpful
I'm kind of confused about the reviews saying the bags aren't easy to fold into the little pocket carrier. True, it will never lay flat like it did when you bought it. But who cares? It takes 2 secs to shove the bag into the pouch and flip over the top like an old school sandwich bag. I have never seen a better more compact design. Also, the reviews mentioning tears is def not the norm with normal use. If this happens use the 100% Lifetime Guarantee. The bag will fit in your pocket (about the size of the palm of your hand) or can be attached using the carabiner tag. I use them in any situation where you would use the plastic grocery size bag. Throw them in the wash when soiled. I've given these several times as gifts and the recipients always asked for more. My mistake is I only give out two at a time. That says it all! They are simply the best!
