“An eco no-brainer" – Parents Magazine

We were blown away by the quality & style of Envirosax reusable shopping bags. They’re lightweight, portable, waterproof and surprisingly roomy - bag volume is bigger than other ultra-compacts we offer and each holds about double what you can fit in a standard plastic grocery bag. Plus, they look fantastic! What better way to spread the message of environmental sustainability than with a beautiful, eco-friendly product that you'll love using? Furthermore, they’re produced by a company fully committed to the environment (more on this below).

Product Details


Dimensions
Pouch size: 9" x 6"
Individual bag size: 19.5" x 16.5"
Individual rolled up bag size: 4" x 1.5" diameter
Handles: 18" loop

Design & Functionality
Envirosax are for the environmentally-conscious consumer who wants a practical, stylish option to plastic and paper bags. Design features include double-fabric handle for comfort, reinforced seams for added strength, and long handles for carrying over the shoulder. We appreciate the well thought-out details like care instructions printed onto the bag and patterns that extend from the bag body onto the handles.

Each Envirosax Graphic Series bag rolls up into a tiny, compact package so it’s easy to always have one with you - small enough to stow into a glove compartment or a handbag. To use, unsnap its closure tab and unroll. The bag expands to hold the equivalent of two grocery plastic bags. To stow, simply fold the bag into thirds, roll up (like a sleeping bag), wrap tabs and snap together. An added benefit of rolling the bag is that it smoothes out fabric creases and wrinkles, keeping it looking like new. Use the pouch included to conveniently and neatly stow all 5 bags (pouch snaps shut to secure the bags, and includes a handy loop).

Materials
Made of durable, waterproof, lightweight polyester, built for toughness and extra strength. Concerned about polyester? Envirosax decided on this fabric for its strength, durability and because it could be printed with colors and patterns that would not fade. Polyester is also highly compressible, allowing the bag to be rolled up into a compact size so that it's always easy to have one with you. The fabric has a soft, silky handle & resists abrasion well. The inks and dyes used in the printing of the graphic series bags are eco-friendly and NO carcinogenic chemicals are used. The printing process ensures that the bags will not fade when washed. Envirosax also produces an Organic Series of reusable shopping bags made from natural fibers like bamboo, hemp and linen.

Sustainability
Envirosax grocery bags are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway bags over the course of their lifetime. As with other Ultra-Compact shopping bags we carry, these innovative bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability so you’re more likely to have them with you.

As a company, Envirosax is committed in keeping up to date with sustainable practices around the world, and annually an Envirosax team member attends the International Conferences on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Check out their website for informative sustainability education resources. Envirosax will even take back old bags and recycle them into stuffing and filler in mattresses, car seats, lounge suites and chairs.

    Great bags!`

    by Susan S - 07/2010

    These bags are perfect for shopping and carrying in your purse. Snaps on the outside of the bags make it easy to roll up. I also like the designs. I'm very satisfied with these bags.

    These bags are AWESOME! I bought them for a friend's bachelorette party. I made"Swag Bags" and wanted to use a bag that was environmentally friendly. Everybody loved them. The colors and patterns are very cute, and material seems to be good so far. I'm glad I ordered a few extra because the bride wanted an extra one and I wanted extras for myself. I'll be definately putting these bags to good use.

    i love these bags!

    by Robin S - 05/2010

    i purchased two sets of these having never used or seen them before. i kept one set for myself and split the other set between 5 friends as part of a "green" gift set for birthdays. (a few of them were in need of encouragement to go green.) the entire set is so easy to carry around that i no longer forget my own bags when i go shopping b/c they are always on me. additionally, all 5 friends rave about theirs and 2 have actually ordered themselves full sets. it is helpful to have a square-bottomed bag for some items, which this set does not have. but i found a square-bottomed bag that can fit inside the carry case of my envirosax- problem solved! plus, the bags are very sturdy and strong; they can hold much more than you might think. a grocery trip for me (single) usually requires 3 of my bags. i cannot recommend these highly enough! not to mention, they're really cute!

    Beautiful and functional!

    by Anastasia E - 04/2010

    I absolutely love this set of Envirosax bags. They are lightweight, strong, and beautiful (check-out clerks almost always comment on them and ask where they can buy some!) I also love that they are washable. We purchased two extra sets for Mother's Day gifts for our moms, too -- I know they are going to be a hit! Thank you for a great price and free shipping on such a fine and durable product!

    by Mary Ann W - 01/2010

    Used these as Christmas presents--stocking stuffers for co-workers and friends--a little something, but they were very impressed.

    Envirosax reusable bag is FABULOUS

    by Emily A - 01/2010

    I bought the Envirosax based on reading numerous reviews. I was really excited to receive my bag and started using it immediately. First as a tote bag to/from the airport, then as a grocery bag and then as a department store bag. The bag is well constructed to support alot of weight. It holds a large quantity of items and it's easy to carry over the shoulder. It's compact, lightweight, sturdy, washable and stylish. How can you go wrong with that? I also like that I'm not a walking billboard for a store either. I love my Envirosax so much that I plan to give them as birthday gifts this year. The Envirosax reusable bag is FABULOUS and does not disappoint!

    Too easy.

    by Teresa A - 12/2009

    These are great to grab if you just need one, or if you are doing a bit of shopping. I bought these (in other patterns, as well and after I had been using mine for months and months) for every female on my list last year, and for a graduation present for my little sister. Everyone loves them...and gets repeated compliments. We are all from small towns, and it really makes a statement, too.

    LOVE MINE

    by Devon Elizabeth E - 12/2009

    I have had my Envirosax for over a year now and keep it in my purse. I use it for everyday shopping and it has held up so well under remarkable abuse. I am getting on line to order these as stocking stuffers for my whole family!

    i am enjoying the envirosax bags. they are light weight and easy to keep in my purse and i am glad that my friend introduced them to me. However, they are not as easy to use as i thought. Mine came without the tiny loop ( that my friend's envirosax bags have) that you use to place at the end of check out for easier bagging. Since they do not stand by themselves it is not easy to bag.

    These bags are the best!

    by Denise B - 08/2009

    These bags are the best! Really like the longer handle that can serve as shoulder bag (vs. the acme, which is also great and compact, but not really purse-convertible). I regularly use them as a light-weight diaperbag (hate those monstrosities that weigh 2 tons before you even put anything in there. I bought a couple sets of 5 to bring with me as hospitality gifts on a vacation where I was staying with lots of friends and family. Everyone really appreciated the thoughtfulness and usefulness of these gifts and they were SUPER light and compact to tow along in the suitcase. The bags also wash really well in the machine. I typically line dry them. The fold-up is pretty easy, too, but I use mine so much, it's hardly worth the folding. I just keep multiples inside a single bag so I can grab 'em when I need 'em.

    by Katey M - 08/2009

    by Katy E N - 07/2009

    I bought this set as an eco-friendly gift for my bridesmaids and they all LOVED them! My sister told me she uses them at the grocery store every week. I liked them so much I bought myself a set!

    Love the bright colors

    by Kristen P - 07/2009

    Love the bright colors. These bags hold so much, and are very strong! I can usually fit the contents of 2-3 regular plastic grocery bags. In addition, it is much easier to carry these over the shoulder than carrying plastic grocery bgs with your hands.
