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).

19" H (including handles) x 16" W x 6" D unfolded
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.

Love the workhorse bags
I now own 3 and keep them in my purse. Very convenient and sturdy grocery bags. I have no more lose bags laying around in the truck of my car.

Good material and capacity in terms of weight load, but I prefer the bags that can be carried either in hand or over the shoulder. The straps on this one are too short to go on my shoulder. Still a great bag, just my preference. This is designed like a plastic grocery bag to be carried at your side in your hand.

Great bag!
I use this bag much more than I thought I would! We've used it for holding library books, taking items back to store for returns, grabbing the mail, nice to have in a diaper bag, holding kids toys, and so. Durable and functional!

What's not to love?
Not only are these bags as sturdy as the original workhorse bags, they fold up just a little bit smaller so they're easier to keep in your purse. I get complements on these bags wherever I use them - people can't believe its a full size grocery bag when I start to unfold it. The handles are comfortable and I like that they are just part of the bag's construction, not sewn on afterward. I would buy these again.

Great bags!
I love that I can keep them in my purse. I was always forgeting the totes in the car. The workhorse bags hold quite a lot. I bought extras at the sale price to use as wrapping paper in the future. That way I will be giving two presents to the person instead of just one.

Great bags!
These bags are wonderful. When they are folded up, they fit in my purse with room to spare. They hold everything that I need them to. I take them to the farmers market with me, and they are very sturdy and comfortable when I carry my groceries 1 mile home.

Great Gifts
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.

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.
