Since 2003, we’ve blazed the trail for ultra-compact reusable shopping bags. Building on our reputation for leadership and innovation, we’re proud to introduce the world’s smallest shopping set. Based on the best-selling Workhorse Original, these silicone-coated, rip-stop nylon bags are the strongest lightweight reusable shopping bags we’ve seen. Not only does each bag stuff into its own tiny pouch, but the whole set fits into one small stuff sack, which means you can toss it in your glove compartment, purse or just carry it in your coat pocket.
Another great product from our award-winning reuseit line (formerly Acme Bags).
Stuff sack: 6.5” W x 5.5” H (slightly smaller than our recycled PET and hemp stuff sacks)
Shopping bags: 21" H (including handles) x 16" W x 6" D unfolded
Each bag weighs 1.3 oz, Set weighs 5.3 oz
Design & Functionality
Just like the reuseit Workhorse Original, our silicone-coated Workhorses have a truly innovative feature – each bag folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Plus, the four full-sized bags fit inside a small stuff sack, for convenience and portability. Silicone-coated, rip-stop nylon is tough enough to carry a heavy load. Even lighter than the original, each bag weighs a mere 1.3 ounces but opens into a full-sized, heavy-duty carrier that holds over 30 lbs. The full set can hold more than 120 lbs in all. The handy drawstring pouch can be hung on the door, stashed in the car or purse, so the bags are nearly impossible to forget.
Materials
We work with trusted mills that develop materials for some of the best brands in the industry. These bags are made with 30-denier, silicone-coated nylon, which is considered the gold standard by the outdoor industry to make tents and other outdoor equipment. The silicone coating transforms a lightweight material into something far stronger.

Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime. Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources. As with other ultra-compact bags we carry, these bags compress down to fit inside a tiny stuff sack for easy storage and portability, which means you’ll remember to use them more often.
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!

Multi Store Use
These nice light weight bags work great for any grocery store I am shopping at. Before my trunk was full of re usable bags for the different stores I shopped at. Now I have just one set with no names. Love it.

Disappointing
Just got this set and it's not quite what I was looking for or expecting. Not that crazy about the silicone coating, though it's not a dealbreaker. Makes the bags slippery and shiny. The real problem for me is the size of the handles and the carrying pouch. Both are too small. The hole for the handles makes it awkward to get your hand through and once you open the bag it doesn't fit back into the pouch easily. It's too snug a fit and you have to really work at it to get the bag back inside and it's not a stretchy fabric. The pouch needs a little bit more 'breathing room'. The size is not at all forgiving.
On the positive side, I am happy with the size and strength of the bags and that each one has it's own individual pouch as well as the larger pouch. At least I got these on sale, as it's not cost effective to return them.
All in all, I should have purchased the Baggu bags instead. Everything these guys got wrong, they get right. Maybe that is what I will have to do.

Amazing bags!
I love these bags! I've collected quite a few over the years and have given out sets as stocking stuffers. They're stashed in my car, house, and purse so I always have a bag when I need one. They're perfect for the store, the kids, and toting random things home after work.
I'm finally writing a review because I am so impressed by the amount these bags can hold! As usual, I bought more groceries than planned so I only had one bag with me. The bagger fit everything from my very full basket into one of these bags. Cereal, crackers, jelly, fruit, vegetables, yogurt - EVERYTHING! The bag was stuffed full (and heavy), but it held everything and is still in perfect condition.

Love it!
Love this product, 4 bags in one little bag, fits in my small purse w/o a problem. No returning back to the car after just having gone into a store because of forgotten bags, they are right there in my purse, each bag folded in a little tiny 'envelope' when not in use easy to fold back, and the best the pouch to put the bag in is attached to the actual bag.
Love the product!!! Dagmar Rafferty

very good, but I\'ve used better

I'm happy to report the bags arrived on friday, and we had occasion to use half of them in the field yesterday. They work very well, much better than any of the other re-useable bags we've been able to find locally.
I'm sorry to report though they're not as good as the Safeway Environmental Options Kin-pack bags we are looking to replace. We received half a dozen of these twenty years ago as a gift. We've been using them at least once a week ever since. We didn't treat them nicely, at least not until a few years ago when it became apparent replacing them would be difficult or impossible.
Where the reuseit bags don't come to the same standard as the kin-pack bags:
The kin-pack bottom has pleats and folds out much like the traditional paper bag, making it easier to hold things like milk cartons and cereal boxes. It is more likely to stay standing up in the back of the car and not slump over on a turn.
Pouch is too small, I can only use 2 fingers when re-stuffing the bag. It still works fine, but it takes just that little bit extra bit of care and attention, and consequent frustration if I'm in a hurry (which is common when unloading from a shopping trip with hungry kids underfoot).
The pouch and bag are too closely matched in size, if the pouch were just a smidgen larger in each dimension it would be easier to stuff the bag in. It reminds me of the backpacking tent we have where one has to fold the tent and fly "just so" or else the bag can't be zipped up and one has to start over. Whereas the kids' tent has a roomier bag and the folds don't need to be as precise. They both take the same amount of room in the end, because the larger bag gets compressed when stuffed in the pack (or in one's pocket, in the case of a shopping bag).
So all in all I'm generally happy with the bags we received. They are head and shoulders above anything else I can find currently on the market. It's just that I've had better. ;-)

Excellent Reuseable Bags
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
The World's Smallest Shopping Bag Set, 4 bags, is excellent. I only have two problems with them. 1.) They are way too expensive. 2.) They sometimes disappear at checkout in the super market and then I had to buy another set. See #1).

Super!
I love these bags! I buy more if I lose them because they take forever to wear out.

More Useful than I Thought!

I received these along with my order of Lunchskins. I love them! They easily fit into my purse or bag so I have them on hand for spur of the moment shopping trips- or when I forget to load my larger reusable bags, and for helping carry all the random things that come along with my kids. Great Product!
