Strong, durable, and versatile.
This is a fabulous bag. Each time I go to the supermarket, the baggers remark how sturdy and versatile it is. I bought the dark gray/sage color. I don't see any wearing of the seams, no problems with soiling and when something did spill in one of my bags, it laundered beautifully. With the two types of handles I can use it as a shoulder bag or just hold
it with my hands. I love that it is a recycled material too.
This year I bought several more and I'm giving all my Christmas gifts in this tote. I know
that you'll be getting more orders for these bags in the new year!

So light and convenient!
Love that this bag is so light, yet can stand open even empty: easy to pack, easy to see what's inside. I'm pleased with this purchase.

Bought in 2007 and still like new
We have grown to appreciate these bags. My first impression in 2007 was they were too expensive. These bags have held up to constant use. I no longer feel they were too expensive. Store folks comment on their sturdiness compared to other bags they see.

Bulky but super handy
I bought three of these bags figuring they would probably be plenty and now I kind of wish I had bought more. On my first trip to the grocery store I ending up buying more than three bags worth of groceries but boy was I thrilled with the reusit bags. I was able to fit all of my light and mushy stuff in one bag like chips, bread, baguette and cereals and just throw it over my shoulder. You can't do that with plastic bags! My favorite feature though is the flexibility to use the smaller handles; by throwing the light ones over my shoulder and gripping the heavy ones with my hands, it allowed me fewer unloading trips and that is worth everything when you live in an upstairs apartment. The construction is solid but they look very utilitarian and they are very big and boxy(they are much bigger than the reusable bags most grocery stores are selling at the check out) so portability may be an issue for some people.

Strong and durable
These are great for just about anything. I originally bought one for shopping but then I decided to buy 4 more for moving and storing stuff. I'm not a fan of bags with elaborate designs or ones that are very colorful, so these are perfect for me. I also like the fact that they're made from recycled PET. I was going to get the recycled cotton tote (same design) instead but these are a little larger making it where you don't need as many bags per trip to the store.

Great
I have 5 of these now. Enough to handle my weekly grocery shopping. They hold 2 to 3 times more than the traditional store bags - plastic, paper and even the store reusable bags. They don't pick up lint like some of the other bags I've had. They wipe clean easily; even though you can wash them. Easy to carry with the two options - long and short.

Size does matter
I just received your bag, it's nice and sturdy. I do hope you'll make them in a bigger size..I tend to shop more than what I put on the list, haha :-) Seriously, I do hope you'll come out with larger bags. If you do, expect a sale from me :-D

Great bags!
We love the bags. They are cool-looking and seem like they're going to be waterproof (or at least closer to waterproof than the ones we had before). They are perfect for grocery-shopping and beach-going and all sorts of other things. The recycled material is great. It was a little tricky to print our logos onto the bags - the screen printer was worried - but it seems like everything has worked out. Thank you, Ella Martin Marketing and Membership Associate The Broad Stage

The bags are great. I would like a larger bag like 17" long 16" wide. This ia a perfect bag for heavy shopping. If you decide to make a bag that size please email me back to let me know. Thank you very much. Jerry Mears.

The Best Grocery Bags!
2 out of 2 customers found this review helpful
These bags are the best! I already had several, but I was purchasing more because there was a great sale. The dual handles come in handy when I'm carrying the groceries in - the lighter stuff can go over my shoulder with the long handle and the heavier stuff can be carried with the short handles to get a better grip on them. They are similar to the size of a large paper bag and they will hold as much as you can fill them with. I get lots of compliments on them at the farmers' market.

This is an awesome bag
This is an awesome bag. It is strong, lightweight, and big. It is far superior to the bags that "Used to be a plastic bottle" which fall apart after not too much use. I'm going to buy another one!

I love this tote because I can put it over my shou
I love this tote because I can put it over my shoulder, and bring my grocery bags in the house in a single trip. I had originally got 2 of the dual handled totes and 3 single handed totes. I loved the dual handled on tote so much that when I saw it on sale, I had to add one more. They are really sturdy and carry a lot of groceries.
