Materials
We work with trusted mills that develop materials for some of the best brands in the outdoors industry (Patagonia, for example) to develop our unique, next-generation recycled PET. We’ve done our research to insure this material is genuinely made from recycled bottles and containers, so you can be sure you’re getting a truly sustainable shopping bag.
Unlike cheaper versions of recycled PET, our Next Generation Recycled PET fabric, blended with nylon, is as beautiful & strong as it is sustainable. Using recycled PET is smart - it cuts down on waste & minimizes damage to the environment by conserving oil, energy & non-renewable resources. In the U.S. alone over 45 billion plastic containers ended up in landfills in 2006.
Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from recycled PET promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. The fabric used to produce each of these bags reclaims several recycled plastic bottles/containers. Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources.
Our Shopping Sets make it easy to start using reusable bags on your next grocery trip. Choose a set or browse for ideas to build your own!

Great Project Bags
At this sale price, these bags make an excellent choice for keeping yarn projects organized. (Maybe not what reuseit envisioned for these bags, LOL!)
I now have 4 of them and can fit two knitting projects in each one -- a large project in the main area and a small project (or notions, tools, etc.) in the front zip pocket. The recycled PET fabric is perfect because it's so smooth. And the drawstring handles make it easy to hang the whole thing from a door knob, chair back, or whatever.

Good buy
My husband used this bag as a backpack recently on a trip to the Amazon rain forest and the Galapagos. It was convenient, light-weight, but strong.

Not so useful for me
I bought this on impulse because of the price, thinking we might use it for magazines/water to and from the gym but it just sits in the closet. The strings dig into your shoulders and make it uncomfortable to use, and when it's empty, the bag flies around like a kite attached to your back. It's just awkward to use. Would not recommend.

Great lightweight hands-free bag
I've used a bag like this for years (I got one free at a Race for Life event nearly a decade ago and used it regularly after that) but mine finally gave up the ghost and no amount of re-stitching the seams could save it. I finally cracked and bought one of these. I'm so glad that I did! It is perfect for carrying a few small items like a lunch wrap and purse on my 1.5 mile walk to work, and I can shove it in my pocket on the way home. I'm sure I'll get many years of service from my new bag. The zip pocket at the front is a really nice touch and allows me to keep my camera and swipe pass handy rather than digging around in the main compartment if I need either one in a hurry.

handy
I ordered one, tried it, and bought several more. Handy for hiking on hot days when a regular backpack would be too sweaty. Simple design, but I couldn't make one for the sale price.

Light and Useful

I bought this to wear when I'm walking the dog and need a place for water and a power bar. It's also perfect for a quick bike ride to the shops; fits an entire Sunday paper inside! The strings are long enough for an adult, too long for kids, but you can tie them up to make them shorter in a pinch (the strings, not the kids).

I love this...I use it for everything. I am 21 years old with arthritis in my hips, and it is wonderful not to have to have all the weight I am carrying distributed on my shoulders. It drapes off of my back perfectly and I love that it's made of 100 percent PET. Very happy with my new bag. :) I use it to go to the beach constantly! It's nice not to have some big heavy thing on my shoulder, ruining the view. :) And I love that it's a conversation starter too, since I can tell people it's 100 percent PET and get them thinking about that stuff as well.

Great Product!
This bag is the perfect size to throw all of my reusable shopping bags into when I go grocery shopping. It is light weight and durable, and easy to clean. I would recommend it for running errands around town or packing a quick overnight bag.

I love these!
I use these bags not just for groceries, but as my 'purse' on weekends when I don't want to carry everything in my 20 lb purse! Keep my cell in the zipper pouch and wallet, etc. in the larger, and it works as a backpack as well as one shoulder

Why is this being discontinued?
I love these bags. They fold up to fit in the palm of my hand, can be used as a backpack or bag, have a zippered compartment... they're washable, durable
I use mine all the time and keep giving them away and buying more. Other people seem to be impressed by these neat bags, too.

Nice bag bought it at closeout so the price was even better. Can't wait to use it. It has a nice zipper front so I don't have to lug around a purse, I can slip my cash right inside the zipper and go.

Aweseme Item and An Even BETTER Price!!!
These bags are great. I ordered two, one for my boyfriend and one for myself. He now carries it everyday while walking to work and fits all kinds of stuff in it, including his lunch bog. He loves it. I love it when I'm going to the gym or walking around downtown. Its a great place to put things that is much easier to carry than a purse.
